Hi all,
I've done some searching and have seen that this topic has come up before, but not for a couple of years so I wondered if anything has changed.
My boiler is an old Worcester 24cdi rsf that (before anyone says it!) is probably well due for replacement. However, we are half-way through an extension and due to some pretty large (and expensive!) problems with the ground works, will be strapped for cash to get it completed. I know the ideal situation will be an unvented cylinder and system boiler.
The boiler is currently situated in the loft on the gable end of the property, and vents out into where the new extension will sit, so presents us an issue with the flue. I have looked into a vertical flue and just leaving it where it is, which could be an option, however I would rather just wait and do it properly when we have the funds.
My question is......Can I move the existing boiler to the new gable end of the house, with a view of changing it in 12-18 months? Will it be a new installation in the eyes of gas safe, and will our plumber be able to register it? He is looking into it himself and I won't be doing any work myself either.
Cheers
Stuart
