Hi,
I've a first floor, 2 bedroom flat (concrete built, late 70's / early 80'2) and I've been looking at replacing the standard boiler with a Combi and moving it up onto the wall to make access to it easier (as it's in the corner of the kitchen). I've been told that I'm likely to need a new 22mm pipe run if I do this, and the total cost is just silly at £3.5k approx. I'm wondering if it's within regs to move the existing boiler (or a new one that wouldn't need new pipework) up on to the wall and extend the existing pipework to it? The plumber who my builder (putting in a new kitchen too) spoke to, wants £1.3k for this, but I don't know if also means new pipework as they seem reluctant to provide a quote. If I have to leave it as is and work the kitchen around it, then so be it.
Boiler info. Ideal Classic FF 340. (Had to wait for info) Flat is a rental, so don't have photo's to hand as we're not local.
