Moving a boiler from one side of kitchen to other

[r1virgin]

Hi all, Im thinking of having a conservatory on the back of my dining room, the flue from the boiler in the kitchen would get in the way. How much time/hassle/money would be involved in getting the boiler moved to the other side of the kitchen or is there an easier way ?
Cheers in advance

hi.. i think you'll actually need to fit a new boiler as i beleive new regs prevent boiler locations being changed.

good thing you're planning now though as i cut one off last week that had the conservatory put up first with the boiler left in situ


to be fair , the builder did leave the fanlights open

Leaving the fanlight open What a considerate Builder

Its a Glowworm Micron 60FF, 6 years old old and always been reliable so id rather not change it. Can the flue be extendeed in a differnet place ie 1m horizontally from where it is now, how far from window openings/ walls would it need toe be ?

Google is your friend - see here for installation instructions (flue locations etc).

Thanks thats cleared things up a bit, might be able to get away with extending the flue then, 300mm above an opening doesnt sound very much though ?

Someone just asked this - do a search on Micron Flue - unless it was you on a different forum...? Not ALL the flue parts are still available . There's nothing stopping you (other than any parts you need) moving a non condensing(or any other) boiler.
You have to Register the installation (of the of the boiler in the new position) but there's provision on the form for exactly this situation.
