can you replace asbestos flues?

My floor standing potterton kingfisher 2 boiler has a flue made from an asbestos material which is damaged and needs replacing. My gas fitter tells me you cannot replace the flue and I must fit a new boiler. Is this the case
Phil Pooley, September 2005
The flue is easily replaced but take advise and care on removing the existing asbestos flue

Tony Glenister, September 2006
no its not the case the flue could be replaced completely with another flue type ie. twin wall made by selkirk..
