Both flue and air held together with cooking grease.

Spent the first hour cleaning!

We’re they Smokers aswell ?
 
Yup. Only smoked in the kitchen...with the boiler

Hate it smoke and grease fat together :eek:

Takes ages for the smell to go away
 
Looks a bit damaged to me o_O

Both air and flue cracked in the centre of all 4 sides. Residents complaining of headaches...co escaping.

The closest flue brackets (unistrut/threaded rod), only had 1 screw holding it up. The screw and plug where half out, clips/pipes all wonky.

Can see any other reason for the spigot breaks apart from the weight of the unsupported flue/air.

Crappy ex council install.
 
Evening mate. Have you sent either me, @ShaunCorbs or @Riley your gas safe details over?


Hey buddy. Sent to Lou recently, still awaiting confirmation.

I’ll send you a copy now.

Cheers

As CBW1982 flue connector spigots look broken! If so I.D. it & replace them.

Another firm ID it, I went to fix.

Both broke, one of the pics is me lifting the spigot while the bolts are still done up on the boiler.

Cracked all the way through.

Renewed spigot, some flue/air, clips, full service, grease clean, additional access panel for inspection in ceiling.
