thanks tony .the flu will go to one side and the cupboard will be built around it so that if required can be dismantled easily, found a couple of alternative boilers gloworm flexicom at 280mm deep, and worcester bosch greenstar 24ri at 270mm, the boiler manufacturers obviously don't think the...

loved your rude replies, my boiler bears the sticker converted from town gas and appart from a new thermocouple has performed perfectly without even a service since 1983 (when i moved in) obviously designed as a replacement for a back boiler, (a niche that still needs to be filled as i...
