Replace the flue for a new one you won't need scaf just a cat ladder
That's a lot of work your talking of adding an extra 5-600 ontop moving the flue to a horizontal
I know, but it's better accessible and depending on who he's getting to install it, whether they'd work of a ladder. Need to be an uninterrupted run out the roof as well cos access to loft space isn't easy and may not be good for inspection. Up to OP really, but I think he'd really like to reuse the existing flu which ain't possible, no matter how shiny it is 😉
It's a full day just doing the flue horizontal
Need 2 45
3-4m lengths
A load of clips 5-6
And to core a new hole
Also needs to be a min 300 mm away from the window edge also a min of 300 away from the boundary

Do you mean x2 90 degs if still on current protruding wall?
4 m length is nothing, plus couple of clips, Plus 4" core is nothing imo, done plenty over the years....
Or the boiler could be moved to the right (off the protruding wall) and copper adjusted, it normal 90 deg from flue and straight 3m run ??
45s and correct
No but at around 50 a m it adds up
Then 50 for the bends etc
Still takes time tho

I've had a reply of my GSE !! He said he would replace existing Flue of ladders as you described....
Thanks mate..
Meeting two GSE today, both fit new flu through roof as its easily done by ladder (their words).
ONE of them mentioned that Baxi are phasing out the HE series and stated the new 600 series is better and MUCH smaller and 30Kw !!!
Never heard of them so getting quote for both...
Anyone advise on these ??
Thanks

Duo tech or 600
600 series is a new boiler few problems so far but ok
600 series is a new boiler few problems so far but ok
I'm getting price on both, the 630 (30Kw) and the usual 28Kw Duo Tec.
what is the best one ?
I would go duo as it's time proven but it's slightly noisy
My mate has a Vaillant and he's had 2 new fans on it !
They always seem to **** up when he's away on hols..lol
Baxi ALL the way !!
Each to their own mate. Not had issues with the ones I’ve fitted. Must be bad luck on his part.
Baxi do not make ecotec mate.
I know what you meant mate. I was being. A bell. Sorry.😀
Bloody Italians !!
Glad you got it sorted. Any pictures??
This was what was stated, i was not there at time of fitting.
Baxi duo tec 28
New flue supported as well through roof
Chemical flush
Hot flush
Inhibitor
All required documentation Registration with gas safe Warranty
£1500
You also cannot get all documents on the day. The boiler has to be registered with manufacturer and gas safe. Paperwork takes a few days normally. Also definitely no powerflush there. Any filters?
I do have pic BUT it's just the boiler itself, i was surprised ALL the existing Ferroli piping virtually aligned with the Baxi, ie no crossovers.
I did go up the attic as well and checked the flue etc, all new x2 45 degrees and x2 supports. (I installed a wired room stat i had spare).
ALL other quotes were £1550-£1700.
Cannot see a filter on the heating or on the incoming. I also wouldn’t couple the condense like that. But as long as it is safe and you are happy.
