Central Heating in Flats

[scot22]

A flat on the first floor is having a 30 plus year old central heating boiler replaced. The new boiler is being sited in the bedroom and the old back boiler is being left in situ.
There is some concern that some water may be left in the old boiler which may eventually leak and cause problems to timber and the flat below.
Are there regulations which relate specifically to flats ? If so, where can I find them ?

Many Thanks for any help.

You're worrying over nothing. Any water remaining in the old boiler will evaporate long before the boiler rots and allows it to leak out.

Thanks very much. I appreciate people like yourself who take the time to provide independent advice. I know I don't know and value people who do. Thanks again

As per mike. Just ensure it's drained down thoroughly and allowed an air hole

Thanks as well

Why is it not being removed?
Is it so the gas fire can be used?

Yeah I am curious to see why it's been left too!

 

[scot22]

Yes - the gas fire is being used : also I suspect easier

Ah OK fair enough!
