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.

Hello,
I am seeking some advice, I have a POTTERTON PROMAX 28 COMBI Boiler and I noticed yesterday that the water around the house is no longer warming up. The heat exchanger has been changed 6 months ago, so I do not believe it is that. Does anyone have any ideas on what it could be?
Thanks
I was stupid enough not to check the position of the pipes under the tiles when installing a toilet and drilled right through the center of a 16 mm copper water pipe. I exposed the pipe by removing a ~30cm section of the plastic sleeve and a ~10 cm section of the pipe around the hole. Several...
