Anyone know about boilers?
Comments

The CORGI bloke who inspected the boiler was just doing what he should have done which was making the current owner aware that the boiler is not up to todays requirements.
It isn't at present illegal, nor dangerous but if you wanted to replace it any time in the future, then the new boiler installation would have to comply to todays current requirements.
Naturally, you would be employing a CORGI registered installer to do that, and he would be able to resite the new boilers' flue to comply.
You really have no worries. If the boiler is working efficiently, has been serviced annually and is less than around 10 years old, I personally wouldn't worry.0 -
Thanks all - brill. It sounds very much like it's fine but if we ever put a new one in we'd have to move the flue. But we've no plans to do that yet as it is relatively new and seems to work fine in other respects.
Appreciate the replies...thank you
