No reason at all for not being allowed to move an existing boiler.
The way I heard it is: you take a boiler off the wall and re-install it is counted as an installation which means it should comply with current regs including part L.
On the other hand, if you can get a RGI to do it for you, you are covered.
For definitive answer you can call GSR on their freephone number and ask them.

I agree with namsag, you're just moving an existing boiler so no problem.
But just to clear up the ncs thing, you're not allowed to install something ncs, otherwise there would be nothing to stop you doing it with a new one.

as far as im aware its fine as long as you have the mi
Nope regs say that you are installing therefore has to comply. Whether anyone knows that you have moved it is another matter.
Come on then 'fatty', show us which reg says that.
I would have thought that the boiler would need to be correctly commissioned in line with current Part L guidance, and as such would need to have an efficiency rating of at least 86%, as well as needing all the associated controls required by Part L. If the boiler can acheive 86% efficiency (the MIs will give guidance on this, your FGA will confirm) then it may be decomissioned and re-installed, if not then I don't think you can do it. You may only be moving it but it's still got to be installed at some point and as such you'll fall foul of the regs.
And no, you can't issue an NCS ticket on a new installation.

Well, there is that.

I have seen Microgenus boilers 7 or 8 years old and nothing has ever gone wrong. This is not an endorsement of Ariston, just that fitted properly they can last and last.
I serviced an Isar the other day that had not been wrong in 6 years; I'd say that is the exception that proves the rule, rather than proof it is a good boiler.
the only thing I would say is a plus about aristons, is that they tend to perform poorly, in stead of packing up completely.
