    With a combi boiler (don't know about others) the flue often just goes straight out the wall and terminates there. The flue pipe from my neighour's boiler protrudes a good 6 to 9 inches further than mine. I suspect that's what the OP is referring to.

    Correct

    Thanks for all replies. had engineer out and seems water got in the air intake which surrounds the flue. He said it's not uncommon and nothing to do with flue length which is ok
