What has to change
A new position usually needs:
- A new gas supply pipe, sized correctly for the boiler
- New flow and return pipework, and hot and cold water on a combi
- A compliant flue route from the new position
- A condensate pipe to a suitable drain
- An electrical supply and connections to controls
Popular new positions
People often move boilers out of kitchens into utility rooms, cupboards, garages or lofts. Each needs enough space around the boiler for servicing, and some – such as lofts and garages – need extra measures like frost protection, lighting and safe access.

Cost and timing
Moving a boiler adds labour and materials compared with a like-for-like swap. It's often done when the boiler is being replaced anyway. Your engineer will check the flue rules for the new position before quoting.
