Regs for boilers in loft space

[shyguy2005]

Anyone know where I can find regs for boiler in loft spaces?

Didn't know there were any! Common sence would say have loft boarded out and at least have a light! BG with there health and safety will want hand rails loft ladder and a mum to hold their delicate hands!
Boiler would need a frost stat, can't think of anything else!

not in the doc J building regs?
its written somewhere for proper loft ladder, light and flooring right upto and under installation.

But most importantly, make sure the customer is able to get up in the loft to repressurise or reset the boiler, lots of old people who have them in lofts aren't able to get up there!!

Probably find you'll have to take the ladder out to push the boiler through the loft hatch! Make sure Yer loveslave is underneath pushing up!! Because Yer don't want a boiler landing on Yer swede!!!!!

Get stanna to put a stair lift in, it'll be easier to get the boiler up!!!!

You could use a self inflating doll to help you lift the boiler up into the loft!!

I would try to fit loop and gauge in a cupboard to allow customer to check pressure

Anytime a boiler is in a loft always put a remote filling loop and gauge in
