How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Do not modify the flue yourself. Gas and flue work must be carried out by a qualified engineer.
- Observe conditions: Note whether the fault occurs mainly during high winds or storms, which can indicate flue terminal issues.
- Visual flue check: From outside, ensure the flue terminal is correctly positioned and not obstructed.
- Engineer tasks: A professional should inspect the full flue route, check for correct terminal clearances, verify combustion with a flue gas analyser, and adjust or replace components as necessary.
