Just an update on this for anyone else looking in the future (who doesn't use bizarre units of commerce like family holidays). Bought a Vaillant ecoTEC Plus 424 myself for £1429.72 and was charged £800 to fit it in the same place in the loft.

Cheers mate, just sent you a direct message. Regards Aidan

Ok my old glow worm boiler has developed a leak and needs to be replaced. Its on an old vented system. Looking to get a vailant ecofit pure 830 fitted and price will include the change to the pipework but keeping the boiler in the same space in an unused loft. Job will include a powerflush of...

Also thanks in advance for any help!

Have exactly the same problem, tried silicone with no success. Will give the above a go. Cheers Aidan.
