My boiler flue isn’t angled slightly towards boiler. In case of water. Can this be corrected from the outside of flue?
 
Gas safe said the flue should be slightly angled towards the boiler to allow water to go toward boiler. I’ve just had my kitchen decorated and don’t want it ruined. So guy who was supposed to do it is coming back. But I want him to do it from outside
 
Gas safe ? have you had a problem with the boiler installation or just a safety check by them ? again pictures please other wise we are not able to give accurate advice .

The man who came to fix my boiler I didn’t trust. He left holes and had broken the integrity flue plastic piece and as you can see in pic the screws are hanging out
 
What's the full story here ? it looks like a old Baxi boiler did the flue fail ? it looks as if a section has been replaced and not very well either, shoddy workmanship in my opinion it may be possible to improve it externally it depends on the engineers skill set , there are clear instructions in the boiler manufacturers instructions for gas flues passing through a timber constructions he would well to read them .

The man who came to do it was rushing and cursing. It didn’t feel right to me. No warning notice left when he said carbon monoxide was present. That’s why I wanted gas safe to check it over. If can’t do what’s needed on outside I will find someone else. I’ve had nothing but Afro from him with this boiler. He is making me wait until 14th oct to come. There are no skills with him
