Flue into Chimney

[mckizz]

I have recently bought a house which has an old back boiler with a horrible CEF. Im not planning on removing this myself but want to remove both the fire and fireplace, but obviously will have to remove the back boiler aswell, i have a cupboard adjacent to the chimney breast and would like to have a new condenser boiler placed here if possible, to avoid have lots of new pipes etc to save on the budget. does any1 know if it is possible to have the boiler placed here with the flue running up the chimney, which i assume will have a lining due to the current back boiler.

Any advice would be great!

Thanks

There are a few maunufacturers that do a flue system that can be dropped down a chimney including Worcester.
You cannot use the existing flue liner as it is totally different and not compatable.
These flue systems are relatively expensive to buy and fit. There may be a way to run a standard, possibly extended or vertical flue.
Sometimes it is a simple job if the boiler is fitted upstairs in the airing cupboard to run a vertical flue. All the pipes you need for a new boiler will be here except for the gas.

new rules on flues and voids may prevent you running a flue this way anyway, and it would be expensive to do so, best to reposition the boiler to use a conventional horzintal flue outlet

Some are designed to be fitted inside chimneys. Flue comes as a continuous 10m length.
