Can I mount my gas fired combi boiler in a roofed passageway?

    As per the title, can my combi boiler be re-housed in a roofed passageway?

    The passageway has a solid corrugated aluminium roof which is open at each end, and generally well vented and totally dry, so I wonder is it possible to relocate our combi bolier from the kitchen to a new home in the pasageway, tucked in beside the chimney stack (and housed in a roofed concrete box)? Vertical flue to be cut through alu roof.

    Sounds good to me, but is it a realistic option?

    Once the flue is going up and out and it's well sealed so know rain etc can get in then it's not really a problem . I see loads of boilers in similar set ups, but it is always better to have indoors if possible. Once everything is done to acceptable standard and meets current regs then there's nothing stopping you as far as I can see.

    Will need frost protection if not built in.
