Hi,
I'm not a plumber, so I hope it is ok to ask a question on here.
A week ago my attached neighbour's plumber replaced an old back boiler with a combi. He removed the hot/cold water tanks from the airing cupboard in the back bedroom and put the boiler in there, on the party wall opposite where we sleep. Or did sleep, the noise has been keeping us awake at night.
I don't blame my neighbour, I blame his plumber. My neighbour is 85 years old and not quite with it, he just went along with what the plumber told him and neither asked me. There is room for a boiler in their kitchen, the plumber chose the easiest option I guess with no regards to me.
I believe the plumber has followed all the regulations (except for his soakway which I don't care much about) and from googling I believe I can't do anything about the location of this boiler.
Apart from sound proofing or moving my bed to the other side of the room (I'd have to move built-in wardrobes first!), do I have any options?
Just so I know what type of guy this plumber is. Would you guys in this situation suggest to customer that the bedroom party wall is a good place for a boiler!? Or is this considered bad practice?
How many of you would have done the same?
Cheers,
Phil.
