Hi,
I am having a new boiler installed in a single storey kitchen extension, the original plan was for it to go near the end of the room on the party wall in a standard kitchen wall cupboard, the flue would then come out of the top turn towards the back of the house and go through the wall facing out into the garden (flue 300 from boundary and window)..
(The originally planned boiler was a Glow Worm 24Hx)
However when the plumber came to measure up the floor wasn't in and I've since worked out that even if the flue comes out only 25mm below the soffit the boiler will be too low for the kitchen cupboard - now one option is just to put up with that and try and put in a full height cupboard or box it in or something similar.. however this wouldn't 'look as good' I was wondering:
1) if any body did a condensing boiler with a side exit flue (rather than top or rear) that would fit in a kitchen cupboard.
2) This is replacing an old boiler with a conventional flue up an old chimney - can fan assited flues go up a bendy, 5/6m run through an old chimey? if so what would the plumber need?
3) What's it like putting in a flue through a pitched roof and how well can this be sealed? It's a 'recently finished' concrete interlocking tile roof with a breatheable membrane and kingspan insulation between and under rafters..
thanks for any help..
