how close? radiator to combi?

[9tjc]

hi all
i will try and explain
my cloakroom is approx 1.1m wide with a depth (length) of 4.5m
on the wall facing you as you walk in i have a worcester bosch 42cdi approx 1300mm from floor
below the boiler i have a wc which i am changing and puting in a boxed in cistern and then hopefully try and conceal boiler (not sure how much i can conceal but open to sugestions here) seems a bit in youre face at the moment and as i am putting in a framework to conceal cistern just thought i could try and hide as much as poss.
also on the left hand wall facing boiler i have a towel radiator which is to be replaced but i am not sure of how close i can go to boiler.
i want to keep everything above board as far as safety and regs go but am struggling for space in what is a very cold room.
i have another option of going for a narrow and tall radiator but even this would then probably hinder the removal of the casing for maintance.
quick summary
can i have a radiator which potrudes underneath boiler or can would i be better to put a floor to ceiling radiator which may or may not hinder maintance.?
can i conceal underside of boiler (pipes etc)?
kind regards and thanks to anybody who has the time and patience to help

the boiler manual tells you exactly how to box it in.
nothing stops you from putting a rad under the boiler, apart from common sense maybe.

hi
thanks to those that responded but i am still none the wiser
on the manual i down loaded there is no referral to location of boiler in referrence to things like radiators of boxing in of the boiler etc
sorry to be a pain and appologies for myself being ignorant as to what can and can not be done.
regards trev

Boxing in of boilers is written in there somewhere ( it's 20mm gap at front and 5mm at sides on the drawing under "clearances" heading (you'll have to zoom in)).

Yes you can put a radiator under the boiler along with boxing in - the only difficulties will be access for servicing and ensuring nothing electrical touches it.
