    Its not the boilers that are ugly. Rather the flue sticking out of the top, and the mess of pipework underneath.
    Clearance at the sides can be minimal, and as long as the taps at the bottom are accessible, you don't need to leave a lot of space in that area. There are a couple of test points at the base of the flue, and the joints need to be visible during a service, so a removable panel at the top is a good idea. If the entire cabinet is clipped to the wall and can be pulled away for servicing/repair, even better.
    Any language construct that forces such insanity in this case should be abandoned without regrets. –
