A local plumber fitted a new Worcester Bosch condensing boiler about 4 years ago.
He fitted the flue as shown in the picture.
I recently removed the basket guard to replace it as it had gone rusty. (Why aren't they all made of stainless steel?)
Should the flue outlet be pointing up in the air?
Will rainwater go inside and cause problems?
Should I turn it so it is angled downwards?
Thanks for any replies.

Nope that's fine, as it's a condensing boiler if there is any rain water that goes down the flue it's connected to the waste system (drain) via a white overflow pipe (you might be able to see this below the boiler on the inside of your house)
I would be more concerned how the prv has been terminated/ looks like it's been snapped off
Also looks like it's released some fluid (brown staining)

Get a plume kit fitted then there no need for a terminal gaurd it will be above 2meters and well above head height

As the terminal is still below 2m will still need a guard even with a plume kit

Perfectly fine pointing up, nothing wrong with it. As mentioned a terminal guard is required below 2 meter with or with out a plume kit.

Hi we have a Alpha 2 15-60-130 central heating pump fitted. We need a bit more heat from 12 rads. I’m confused about the settings as the Auto Adapt was pulling 14w which is not enough. I have now set the right side led to position 4 and it pulls 25w.
