Hello Lads,
as above I am having an upcoming boiler conversion. I am a little bit concerned about few things. First of all it is a council flat which makes the installation much harder. Furthermore I am having just concrete walls and floors which is really hard to run pipe works throughout the place towards the new boiler place. I am also concerned about the gas pipe because the gas meter downstream has a massive steel pipe going straight down into the floor and T's off before that into the concrete wall. I was wondering if anyone knows if that could be a supply for all flats?
The size i would say is about 40 mm steel pipe. I also struggle to find a way to run a new gas pipe towards the boiler it is in a weird position. The good thing is that the flat is at the top floor which means I could use the loft space to run my central heating pipes from the cylinder cupboard towards the new boiler location which will be either in the kitchen next to the sink or in the food storage corner behind the fridge. i was thinking to install the boiler in the cylinder cupboard but i believe I will not manage to do the vertical flue through the roof accordingly.
you can see my attachments to get a better idea of the layout of the property.
Perhaps either one of you came across a similar installation and layout and could give me some helpful tips to make my life easier.
I am a little worried that I am facing some problems and therefore I am on here again to pick all your brains to get as much information from other experienced engineers.

the gas pipe for example isn’t that easy to get to the right location. I will definitely use the loft space to run my ch pipe from the cupboard to the new boiler location. In the loft is mains supply which I will use to connect onto the bathroom supply and hot water will be taken from the cupboard too.
