Can anyone with knowledge of combination gas boilers let me know if this looks OK?
Thanks. Den

Looks ok to me? I am not a plumber.
It looks like a new boiler added to old pipe work.?

With the general mix of pipes, I’d assume it will be boxed in later.

A bit vague?

Ok as in - will it win the boiler installation beauty competition 2026? Probably not.

In a practical sense, it looks 'functional'. Magna-clean type filter. Clumsy condensate piping to who knows where. A few messy solder drips. The odd paint scorch mark.

What is it you want to know?
 
Bit rough but functioning. How much did you pay for install ? Rolls Royce prices or budget ? If new install and not happy, you usually get the option of a Gas Safe inspection. But they are concerned with safety not aesthetics.
 
With fairness to whoever fitted it, its not really a clean canvas to work from. Yet he could have cut lower and removed that shelve.


That said it still looks a bit monkey .
However it all looks in the right order.
 
If it works and doesn’t leak, there’s no issue.

The condensate should be lagged through the wall to stop it freezing….

Any pics of the flue inside and outside
