Installing new boiler in cupboard on outside wall

[potterton678]

OK, so I was thinking the flue would come out the front of the cupboard, through a fixed panel above the door - that way it's kept clear of the wall, and away from the plastic wastepipes which run above where the cupboard will be.

I thought that with a modern roofing material like EPDM it wasn't necessary to also fit a separate lead flashing - is that not right?

I also wanted to ask, do you think it's a good idea to design a backless shed, so the boiler is mounted directly on the brickwork, as is the frame of the shed itself (with layer of silicone inbetween), rather than having a timber rear panel which would require a layer of Supalux between it and the boiler?

Many thanks for your wisdom...

How did you get on with this? Sounds similar to a boiler installed in a loft.

I used to have a non condensing boiler in an old brick outbuilding toilet, no insulation and no laggings on pipe, it had a frost stat and a pipe start. During extreme cold days like in winter 2009 and 2010 it used to come on every 10 mins despite me tweaking it lower. It also used to come on in the night, i used to lower the trv's every night to make sure heating biils were not high. But looking back the bills were ok.

I ran this setup for 15 years until we built an extension, jurassic age i called it.
