I'm looking at fitting a new kitchen later this year and want to move my boiler out of the kitchen into the loft. It would be mounted on the same wall directly above where it is currently located, so in simple terms all that would be needed is the pipework extending and a new flue fitting higher up the wall.
The boiler I have is a Saunier Duval and was manufactured in 2000. I don't know when it was fitted as I didn't own the house at the time, however would assume this was probably 2000 also.
I know boilers don't last forever and was wondering whether it would be worth getting my existing boiler moved, or if it would be better to get a new boiler installed. I imagine labour costs for a new boiler would probably be less than moving the existing one?
Can anyone give me a rough idea of costs for moving my existing boiler, and for having a new one fitted? (I don't expect people to commit to a quotation, just a rough idea of price so I know when I'll be able to afford it) The existing boiler is a combi, central heating system is a pressurised system with TRVs throughout, so I don't believe any changes to the system would be required.
