I have a cutsomer who is short of money and has had her boiler badly sited and the termination of the flue also. The cowboys that fitted her system have since gone out of business.
The insurance have paid out for the boiler (due to another issue) but we are fearing it needs resiting and she doesn't have the money to pay for it.
Our solution, although unsightly, is to run a flue along the internal wall of the kitchen and out of the side of the house so it agrees with BS 5440 Part 1. We estimate the flue length will need to be 4.5m to do this however.
Does anyone know a lower end boiler (e.g. Biasi Garda 24kw / 28kW) that allows for an horizontal flue length of this size?
Kind Regards

not sure but the potterton performa for example is only 4 metres for a 24kw
 
put it on the insurance quote and move the boiler so it conforms to standard, cant refuse it can they?.
 
Insurance company say it isn't their fault the boiler was mis-sited in the first place hence customer must may pay for that if they want it done.
Re: Potterton I will have a look at that 1, just maybe 0.5m short.

Main eco 30 upto 10m then up to 20m with the bigger bore flue.If your then going to box in the flue pipe it needs to be accessable for inspection in line with the latest gas regs.

Have found some of the Pooterton range that allows flues up to 10m in length e.g. Potterton Performa 24kW.
Thanks for the advice people!
