Hi oilman Forgive me but what exactly is a soakaway? I'll post a photo tomorrow. I'm writing this after the installers have completed the installation. Every single carpet in my house is now stained with the dirty water from each of the old radiators and the airing tank. There is now a...

Thanks Slugbabydotcom for that err information! Regardless of any regulations, the installers should have told me that this was required. Then i could have looked at alternative places to put the boiler. I bet he has it nicely installed in his house. Andy
