Am I right in thinking my ideal logic boiler flue is blocked? It looks like insulation or expanding foam?

Please enlighten me and so I know if it needs immediate attention or not.

Photo attached?

Thanks,

Yes don’t turn the boiler on til it’s been sorted and safety checked
 
I can't thank you both enough, especially considering I have three young children. Fortunately I have an electric shower and friends who are gas engineers.

Thanks again

Multi Meter which one for engineers
Can anyone recommend a decent multi meter, preferably under a 100 pounds. It's for checking boiler components so I don't need a top spec one ....just easy to use and reliable. The fluke 115 looks good but its above my budget. My current socket and see one was great but it's developed a fault.
