Hi there,
I am about to sort out a service for my boiler. It is open flued, in a compartment, and the compartment is ventilated via ducts from the loft which go well above the insulation.
My question is - Although there is plenty of ventilation in the loft, it is from vents around the eaves of the roof. Are these high enough? I seem to remember something about ventilation in loft spaces needing to be at least 300mm above the joists for open flued appliances?
Just wanted to know so I can sort out some more vents if I need to before the service. The MI's let me know how much free area I need.
Thanks in advance
