Rain water coming in through boiler vent

AJ2020 · Oct 27, 2020

I have an old Ideal Classic boiler which is letting in rain water, flowing through the inside!

I had the fan changed about 6 months ago, andI’m now wondering if there is something missing from the fan outlet/vent..?!

can someone advise what I need to stop the rain coming in.

Many thanks,
Andy

The top vent is the cooler hob, 25 years old.

Doesn’t really help me, but thanks all the same. Rain water still coming in through the outlet from the boiler now

if its never happened before what has changed eg gutter leak above boiler of just direction of rain, or is it and actual leak from heat exchanger inside boiler either, it needs to be checked by a registered gas engineer
