Boiler Flue Extension?

[Geertsen]

We have a Vaillant boiler (installed Nov 2022) and the flue exits right next to the fascia boards of our extension. As you can see it’s a very ugly affair hidden down the side of the house. The only problem is, when the heating is on the cold boards are getting dripping wet and rotten.

Ideally I’d like to extend the flue beyond the gutter or away from the boards. Is this possible and how? Hoping it’s as easy as an extension pipe!

Thank you

Thank you for all the replies. I suppose at this stage (where I have only just noticed the issue yesterday), when I mentioned that “i’d like to extend the flue” I should really have phrased it “the flue needs to be extended”. I realise that you should never work on your own boiler and I never would but it’s interesting that this extends to the plastic cap at the end of the flue. I’m very surprised but am quite happy to get an engineer to do it.

The question was really “is getting an extension tube and slotting it on something I can do myself or do I need to get and engineer in to sort this?”. I think I have my answer
