Opening or permanent shut ?

Also that can be sorted depending on how handy the joiner is
 
shut mate you think its doable then ?

Yea the only kicker is

Are you able to get flue parts
And your key part is distance from the wall (eg fluing distances)
 
If you go VF boiler will have to come off the wall , take blanking plate from top and use to seal R/Flue should be able to get V/Flue kit, but if boiler is 8/10 years then now would be a good time to replace
 
Agreed but custard won't got for that boiler is already rear flued jt , my thinking is if it can be done which I am not 100% yet a new flue system is compatible with the gloworm energy boiler range so could be swapped in the summer. Cheers kop
 
Got it sorted wasnt as bad as i imagined when i got there thanks for your input chaps builder will fibre glass around the flashing . Cheers kop
