You want to be dead certain that nothing is going to come out of that flue and go in to your gaff, that's for sure.
Howard-
indeed, might even put a co2 alarm in the cupboard.
all flues and intumescent strips on front doors were inspected in January, not seen the report yet but i bet some were not properly done when the warm air boilers were removed over the years. one flat we looked at had hot water pipes going through the flue?!

About to hit this.
removing a warm air boiler and replacing with a wet one in different location but the building has a central flue serving all flats which has to be firesafe. i’ll get the remover/installer to rivet a piece of metal (or whatever is recommended for fire safety) and use intumescent mastic and take pictures of the product used if it ever gets inspected.
