Very recently had a garage side extension on our house and now the boiler flue is too close to the wall.
the boiler was fitted about 5 years ago and wasn’t touched when we did the extension.

I need to get a plumber to change it but would like to have a plan before they come, can anyone give me some suggestions.

I don’t have any room inside to move it higher.

The boiler is a valliant Ecotec.

Move the boiler inside the garage

Also the gutters shouldn’t be designed to discharge into the stack like that
 
It could be run internally and then come through the middle of the tiles on the roof for a vertical flue.
What distance would it need to be from the 1.Wall 2.Roof tiles 3.Top window

Remove terminal flue piece, install straight, then elbow up, then straight, then another elbow, then terminal piece.

Needs to be supported, collars sealed and from memory, terminal piece must be no shorter than 450mm.

There’s also a chance that white flue can’t be run outside in 60/100 diameter, I’ve only done it in 80/125.

POTTERTON PROMAX 28 COMBI Boiler - Hot Water Issue
Hello, I am seeking some advice, I have a POTTERTON PROMAX 28 COMBI Boiler and I noticed yesterday that the water around the house is no longer warming up. The heat exchanger has been changed 6 months ago, so I do not believe it is that. Does anyone have any ideas on what it could be? Thanks

UK Can't get stopcock 100% closed to allow a tap repair
I have a plumber coming tomorrow to change a cartridge on a badly dripping tap on my bathroom mixer unit. There is no separate isolating valve for this tap so I'll have to close the stopcock. I tried closing it today but it won't go absolutely 100% closed and there is still a very slight flow...

Hole in copper pipe, solder under floor, T coupling & protection
I was stupid enough not to check the position of the pipes under the tiles when installing a toilet and drilled right through the center of a 16 mm copper water pipe. I exposed the pipe by removing a ~30cm section of the plastic sleeve and a ~10 cm section of the pipe around the hole. Several...
