[QUOTE="Foxy1991, post: 518944, member: 34054"] Thanks for the reply ProDave. I had a look and before I even took the screws out I noticed some corrosion on the screw heads. Upon taking the socket away from the wall there was some more on the back box 😑. So I think venting the flue was much needed! The wires all look fine its just the metal back box that also seems to have passed the corrosion onto the screws and then onto the socket itself. I'm going to go out and get a new back box and socket shortly and replace it. So fingers crossed everything will be okay now the flue is correctly vented. [/QUOTE]
