Worcester Bosch - Flue relocation advice

[Dotty]

The boiler will have to be moved. There's no other option.

If you are referring to the condensation waste I don't think that was what that grey pipe was doing, I have a feeling that it is plumbed in to the waste in the kitchen but I might be wrong. The waste that is currently on the back of the house is also temporary as the back wall will be coming out, most likely starting next week!

boiler should be removed first tho before any other works starts

depending on kitchen units (tight to old wall) should be able to go there fine but double check with your gas safe eng

This was the kind of thing I was thinking could be done...

Is that wall on the boundary?

No. Most definitely not.

How did they overcome building over the Inspection chamber on the right in picture in post 4?
Has it been relocated?
Was permission sought from the Local water company to build over what is probably a common drain (theirs not the house owners) running across the back of all the houses?

only matters when going through the wall doesnt it, and not through the roof?

Yes my side walls are right on the boundary so I can't really vent out in to the neighbours garden, even though that's pretty much where their own flue is!

That was why I was wondering.

Yes full build over request granted from the local water company. Rodding eyes provided too!
Not really what this thread is about though to be fair, thanks for checking!

I just want to know if there are other options for venting the boiler up and through the roof. If possible not moving the boiler from the kitchen!

There aren't any. It's a relocation.

Off that boiler you've got different flue options. Can go up to 15m vertically i think with 125mm or about 10m horizontaly. You engineer can tell you.

 

[ShaunCorbs]

That was why I was wondering.

if i remember right if you go out the wall needs to be 600mm to the boundary and 300mm if you go through the roof

might just fit but would be close

the best option would be the bedroom if you could live with that op

 

[E4gas]

Bedroom is your best bet ,

We know you don't like the answer but safety is our paramount prerogative.

 

[Aquazone]

I know you have said safety is paramount but as myself, Croppie and others have said, moving the boiler is the only way. A plume kit, periscope or whatever you want to call it is a no go.

You need to post on the Looking for an engineer section or get your own GSR engineer out to advise further as us looking at pictures on this thread isn't going to get your boiler moved.

I'm absolutely with you all. Not looking for a shortcut, safety is paramount and moving it will be what it is, straight up in to as tidy a position as it can go within the bedroom directly above, venting straight out the back wall at that height. It is ultimately going to become the guest bedroom anyway!

I really appreciate all of your opinions and solid advice. Thank you.

Now I need to stop the builder until the boiler is moved!

In the meantime, it's off and the Carbon Monixide alarm tested. I've also ordered another two CM alarms for the bedrooms, this evening, as fail safe! They get delivered tomorrow. You got me worried.

 

[Dotty]

Thank you Tim, we know it's really not the advice you wanted to hear, but it is the best way to go. And most importantly, the safest.
