Where people move it
The usual reasons to move a boiler
Into the loft
Frees the most space downstairs. Needs safe access for servicing.
Out of the airing cupboard
Common after a combi conversion, when the cylinder has gone.
Out of a bedroom
Quieter bedrooms and more space. Usually moved to the kitchen or a utility room.
Into the garage
Possible, with frost protection for pipes and condensate.
Extension or loft conversion
Building work changes where the flue can go. We’ll work with your builder on the position.
The work
What moving a boiler involves
New gas supply run
Gas pipe extended to the new position and sized for the boiler, or upgraded if the old run is too small.
Water and heating pipes
Flow, return and (for a combi) hot and cold water re-routed, neatly clipped and boxed where needed.
A new flue
Through an outside wall or the roof, positioned to meet the rules on windows, doors, boundaries and eaves.
Condensate route
A drain for the boiler’s condensate, routed inside where possible so it can’t freeze.
Making good the old spot
Old pipes capped and the old flue hole sealed. Plastering and decorating are left to you or your builder.
Paperwork
Moving a boiler is notifiable work. We notify Building Control through the Gas Safe Register.
Moving it because you’re converting from a system or back boiler? See combi conversions. Want a new boiler in the new spot? See boiler replacement.
FAQ
Boiler relocation questions
Can I move my boiler to the loft?
Often, yes. A loft boiler needs safe access for servicing: typically a fixed loft ladder, a boarded walkway, a light, and enough headroom. We’ll check your loft before quoting.
Should I replace the boiler while it’s being moved?
If it’s more than 10 years old, usually yes. Most of the cost of moving is the pipework and flue, so fitting a new boiler at the same time costs much less than doing it later.
How long does it take?
A move within the same room can be done in a day. A different room, or the loft, is usually one to two days.
Can a boiler go in a bedroom or bathroom?
Modern room-sealed boilers can go in a bedroom. Bathrooms have rules about which zones electrics can go in, so the exact position matters. We’ll advise.
