Lightbulb Bloody Boiler Flue!!!!!

Ive got a combi boiler in my kitchen and the flue is going straight out the back through the wall and into the garden. Im having an conservatory put on the back which i am doing myself,thing is is the flue will be in the corner inside the con..!! Its a consenteric flue the ones that have an outer and a inner to them. How do i go about moving it? Can it just have a bend put on the outer wall so that it goes up through the roof with a rain cap on end? Does it have to bend to the side which then means that it would have to be cut through the glass?????

read throught the installers manual and see what the max length of a vertical flue can be, but yes you go vertical through the roof, if not then it may mean moving the boiler.

Unless it is a very very new boiler you probably wont be able to alter the flue and the boiler will have to be moved, make and model info would help but only a CORGI reg person can do this work for you as it is not a diy job.

No boiler manufacturer will allow an elbow put on the outside and then a vertical flue through the conservatory roof as the terminal would be too close the house wall.

you do see flues going up sides of houses though
apparantly you can get a consenteric none cuttable flue, found on the net earlier but it dont make any sense to me
the make of my boiler is a myson cpollo funfare?
one web site says

A’ At least 300mm below an opening window. ‘E’ At least 300mm from vertical drain pipes etc.
‘F’ At least 600mm from a corner of the wall (either an internal or external angle)
‘G’ At least 300mm above ground level.
If in a car port( not permitted in garage) then, ‘D’ At least 600mm below car port roof, and
‘J’ At least 1200mm from opening door or window in the car port.

I'm sorry but that boilers flue can not and must not be altered in the manner in which you want. Yes some flues can go vertical but not a Myson Apollo Fanfare.

Time for a new boiler.....
