We have a job to replace this boiler with a Viessmann but as you can see from the photos its quite high up. Obviously the boxing in around it will be coming down and have a door on it after but would you think it too high to fit a new boiler. Its gonna be about 8ft to bottom of boiler. Am just think of carrying out the work safely and problems with serving. Any input would be great

Will there be enough clearance, and where will the condensate go? Glad I am not doing it.
