We had a boiler in an old shed adjacent to the house.
The flue is encased in a brick chimney stack that runs up the outside of the house.
Some years ago, the boiler was moved inside, but the old flue remains. It looks like a chimney but is open at the bottom and unsightly. I am not sure whether it is lined with asbestos. Either way, can it simply be blocked in or bricked over at the bottom to make it look better?
