Help - How can I hide my boiler?

[ryanwatson]

I recently had a new boiler installed and it just looks like a bit of a mess in the kitchen.
As the walls are covered with a plasterboard a whole had to cut to mount the boiler to the wall. The problem is now I can't really think of a nice way to hide it.

Any suggestions as how I can hide this? My first thoughts are to cover the whole thing in a box, however due to the space it consumes this might be a little tough.

certainly looks an eye sore thats for sure

after a few weeks/months u will get used to it & make sure u do not boil the kettle under the boiler

Sorry all - I've put this in the wrong forum by browsing around.

I hope the fitter didn't 'install' the wireless room stat on the shelf next to boiler.

What about something like this? :

May be able to match the colour of your existing cupboards?

Nor the unnecessary junction box on the wall tiles. That's terrible. It all is.

Remove the corner shelf display.
Put a cabinet around the boiler extend the wall units to the boiler housing unit and it won't look too bad


Salus stat oh no !

Worcester splosh oh no !

@blightymam, Thanks. That's quite a good idea.

Both the junction box and the wireless transmitter are in really odd places. Just makes it a bit of an eye sore.

The seal round the flue pipe is not fitted well and the condensate pipe could have been done better. Was this job done by a professional for good money?

Flue looks too close to window, but may be perspective in the photo.

Feck knows why they didn't run the flow and return up through the jig. Would've been dead easy to box in then.

You can get lots of pipes behind if you can bend

You are all so harsh ! It's not easy working above a worktop in a corner like that.

It's a piece of pish tbh.

Quality mate.

I like the way the op has the magnaleak fitted directly over the leccy. Nice touch.
