This was a job we went to today. We were there to service the boiler and we found this on a 5yr old boiler.This was a flue internally running through the kitchen, the flue on a modern boiler has 2 jobs the inner pipe removes the products of combustion ie carbon monoxide and the outer pipe sucks air in to allow the gas to burn.Staggered turned to absolutely livid when I found out an engineer from a national breakdown company had been out the previous month to a fault and had left the boiler on leaving the customer at risk of carbon monoxide poisoning.I have capped the gas off an made safe and will return asap to get everything up and running again
This was caused by a badly installed flue by a the same national brand who had serviced it for the previous 4yearrs and failed to notice this. This is why people should go to a local engineer who they can trust and who actually care.
