Apologies in advance for my complete lack of knowledge on this subject, but...
I have moved into a house that has a Baxi Bermuda back boiler supplying the hot water and radiators.
The fire-front looks to date from around the 16th Century, so I would like to change it. So far on the internet the replacment fronts don't look particularly "modern".
Have these old back boilers seen better days?, should I be getting rid of it completely?
I had a man from British Gas come round, and he (a bit sarcastically) laughed and said no-one had these boilers anymore, and quoted £3000 to put a new boiler on the kitchen wall. Unfortunately this quote didn't include a replacment fire place, so we would have been left with a hole in the living room wall after forking out £3000!!.
Any advice on this matter would be very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
