Ideal Classic boiler flue - planning conservatory

Paulaviki

Hi

We have been gathering quotes for conservatories but our boiler flue is on the back wall so the outlet would be in the conservatory. So we've been told to find out if a flue kit can be added to pipe it vertically out of the roof.

I've emailed the guy who services our boiler to ask if he thought it was possible but he thinks due to the age of the boiler it might not be possible. But has told me to contact ideal so I've emailed them.

We've lived in the house for 2 years this May and the boiler works perfectly so we really don't want to have to spend thousands on a new boiler (and in reality can't afford that and the conservatory).

Does anyone have any advice or suggestions for this type of thing?

Gutted as this could really scupper our plans if our only option is a new boiler!

Is the boiler in a position so that a flue could be routed thru another wall?

Consider having a new boiler with a flue going elsewhere. Forget the conservatory save up your cash and have a proper extension when you can afford one.

Unfortunately not!

Up thru ceiling and then out above conservatory?

We have wall mounted gas CH boiler on side wall with outlet outside conservatory door. Originally this had external fumes outlet installed in wall below boiler around 4 foot from ground which meant gas fumes emerged direct onto patio area outside door.

However we recently had new boiler installed in same place as old and had a pluming kit (effectively a small chimney) installed.The external pipe goes up above door level and directs fumes onto main garden area where they condense and blow away.

Can you have a pluming kit installed on your boiler?

Apparently not.

So we just have to wait for the quote now and see whether we can realistically afford the new boiler too! I know the boiler will probably need replacing in the next few years anyway.

You can't fit a plume kit & you won't get a replacement flue cause the boiler is too old
