We were due to have a combi boiler fitted whilst we were away, however the plumber called to let me know that our desired location (see pic - white nylon bag pushed in hole, above metal track) was not achievable as it would result in the flue being above the ceiling and therefore not legal or serviceable. As a result he knocked a new flue hole through the wall (see pic - plastic bag in hole below yellow paint).
This of courses makes total senses and was an oversight on my part; however I would like to know if I could still use the my intended location (upper flue hole) but not fit a ceiling and therefore have full access to the top of the boiler and to all of the flue, I would then hide it all within a cupboard? I can't afford to drop the boiler (lower hole) as it will prevent a washing machine from being fitted beneath. Gas fitter is popping out to see me this week to explore options but would appreciate any thoughts or ideas on how to over come this issue! Thanks in advance
