Hi, our boiler is on its lasts legs (17year old) and we need a new one. We are considering taking out the boiler from the kitchen and the water tank from the airing cupboard directly above the boiler and fitting a combi in the loft.
The loft is already boarded out and you can stand up in it. There is strip lighting, all I need to fit is a guard rail and fixed ladder.
The house is about 20 years old,has cavity wall insulation and meets current insulation regs in roof.
As there is a wall in the loft the flume will go through the wall instead of the roof.
The plumber also suggested wireless controls and a pressure gauge outside the loft so it can be programmed and monitored from outside.
Is this a silly place to locate a boiler or would it be ok as the plumber suggested the location?
