Can my flue be fixed from outside wall

[Be kind]

My boiler flue isn’t angled slightly towards boiler. In case of water. Can this be corrected from the outside of flue?

Are you having a problem with boiler as some flues have fall built in to the outer tube.

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

 

[Be kind]

I maybe asking too much but I’ve just had kitchen wallpapered. There’s no way he is ruining that. He didn’t sand and cement the holes last time. I don’t think he has that skill and gas safe won’t return to check work.

Can we have a pic of outside as it may be a plume kit in which case would be horzontal as some make say to fit like that.

Gas safe don't have any powers to make him improve the job if it's not a danger and complies with the gas regulations, however ugly the job is , you have two options - 1 - wait for said engineer and hope he makes a better job at a second attempt ?? - Get another engineer to sort it and send him pictures and the bill .

Then he should attend to the issue as a matter of urgency or risk further problems with Gas Safe .

 

[Be kind]

Urgency? He said it will have to wait until I’m back off holiday. I wish I never bothered. The stress is too much. Thank you for you help

Can I do that? Send him bill I mean. What if he doesn’t pay

 

[Ric2013]

Well, you'd have to take him to court if he doesn't pay. Whether you would win or not depends, of course, on the full back story.

People on here are suggesting Gas Safe will be very interested if he's left the OP with an unsafe situation, but I'm left wondering whether the original installer is even Gas Safe registered.

Ive had enough of my boiler. I’m smashing it to pieces soon lol

You can he may or may not pay you though you may have to be prepared for a legal battle .

You need to pay the 2nd installer, but then try and recover the money from the first one.
You can’t just send the 2nd installers bill to the first guy and hope he pays him.
