Back boiler removal advice needed, please

[Hales123]

Hello ,

I am looking to remove my coal fire , it has a back boiler and damper behind which heats the water in my house , I have no gas at the property

Can I remove the back boiler myself ? I have a water cylinder in the room directly above .

I am hoping to fit a log burner but I don’t want to end up with dead legs in the redundant pipe work .

Any advice would be very much appreciated.

Thank you Hayley

Yes ,drain cylinder first.log burner should be fitted by a HEATS registered installer

OP,
Are you comfortable doing any of this work yourself?
