Hi all,

I live in a council flat and have a combi boiler and i just noticed today (after it's been raining very heavily) that there is a tapping sound coming down into this large pipe that goes from the boiler and up into the attic (sorry i'm pretty thick at this kinda stuff) but i'm guessing this is the flue? If there is a leak in my roof and it is somehow getting into there is it dangerous? What should i do?

Sorry but i'm pretty neurotic and the council never explain anything or do anything in a rush.

Any advice would be much appreciated, cheers.
 
If your concerned get inform the landlord and get them to send an engineer out to check it over.
 
As suggested, get on to the council ASAP. I'd also switch the boiler off at the main switch. If water is getting in you don't want the electrics to be live..
