Default Capping a flue.

A friend has just had an old gas boiler removed from his kitchen. There is
now a chimney with a cowl that is no longer used. The lower end has the
remains of an asbestos flue which will need trimming back to the ceiling
level - or removing.

What is the advice about the flue -

1. Leave it and just cover the lower end?
2. Remove cowl and cap the flue - fit a vent in the side of chimney?
3. Any other suggestions?
