Boiler location

Posted by emma hildrew, on
I want to move/replace my gas boiler to an external wall, I will also be putting in a new soil stack. The Ideal place internally is between the window and door which is about 80cm wide. but I also would like to move the soil stack to this location. is there enough space to fit the flue and soil stack

Hi Emma Boilers are ideally positioned on the ground floor in houses (a requirement for oil-fired boilers), within the kitchen or a utility area. Careful consideration must be given to the position of the flue as condensing boilers produce a plume of steam which can be a nuisance. See the Building Regulations Part J for detailed advice and diagrams. Regards Rafal
