The flues are mUPVC not ABS. Different stuff.
The ONLY good thing about a Keston. Bin the rest.

We fitted an estate with condensing boilers in the mid 80's that had 40mm mUPVC flue and intake. For the life of me i can't remember the name of them.
They came over from Ireland.

On the button there tam. mUPVC is more resistant to temperature and the damage the flue gases may exert over time on the plasic. Also is U.V. resistant.
It should be mUPVC that is the product of choice for flues and Keston do state this in their M.I.'s.

I've finally got the landlord to take it on board and accept in writing that there are issues to be addressed. Thanks very much to all those who helped me out on the original posting.
