Default New boiler and flue question

Nick wrote:
We have an ancient (40 yrs+) New World back boiler in our kitchen
fireplace. Serviced annually and still working well. Somewhat
underpowered as the place has been extended. It is going to die sometime.
My plan is to replace it with a boiler on the far side of the wall.
Would it be practical or legal to pass the boiler flue back through the
wall and couple it to the existing lined flue which exhausts through a 7
metre chimney?
Thanks,
Nick.


Almost certainly not. Modern regs require that the flue pipe is accessible
for inspection.
