get a plumber to simply blank off the ends, if you are not confident of doing this yourself,

depending on how many your family is go for a new combi, or system boiler.

+1 :Salute

I know how to blank pipes of just wanted to know how to remove the boiler is it fix in the fire place as its not in use for year need to make room for new fire don need a plumber to do this

without seeing it and as my powers of pyhcosis are somewhat deflated on a saturday evening I cant help you any further.

thats a bit like me asking you how do I take this garage door off, if you cant see it you wont know.

nobody will know how your boiler is fixed without seeing it.

thanks moose man

one tip,

there is a good chance it will be heavy 2 man lift/ struggle

there is also a good chance the thing is only held in by it's pipes.

No way to talk about the wife!!!

If you leave it in situ then make sure you drill the tank and don't just blank off the ends - otherwise you create a sort of bomb!
