how much does it cost to move a central heating boiler vent so i can have a conservatory?

Answer 1

Hi. If your boiler has a condensing power-flue then depending on make and model and current location to the surroundings, it could be possible to redirect the flue within manufacturers instructions. You will need to contact a local CORGI engineer for professional advice. However some other guidelines might help you with your decision, If you have a balanced flue, you need to be 600mm from an internal corner or power flue 300mm from an internal corner. Below gutters BF 300mm PF 75mm, horizontal from an opening (window) BF 600mm PF 300mm. These measurements depend on heat input of boiler and can be more or less depending on BTUs. It may be easier to consider a new boundary for your conservatory wall. Cost wise, a CORGI engineer will advise, labour wise up to 3/4 day to move boiler on same wall or 1 to 1.5 days to relocate to another room. Good Luck.

Answer 2

HI-, 9 times out of 10 the boiler has to be moved as well because some vents go direct into the back of the boiler (as mine does) but look & see if it is inline with the boiler if it is at an angle you maybe lucky & you may just need to put a bend in it Or you could take it through the roof of your conservatory iff useing policarbonate you will nead to put some insulation around the pipe where it goes through the roof, But get someone to check it for you, Get good advice,D.F;

Answer 3

find the make and model of your boiler then ring a CORGI REG plumber you will find them in yellow pages..and he will advise you ..they are the only people allowed to handle a gas supply .. do NOT allow anyone to touch your boiler if they are not CORGI REGISTERED ...most boilers will not allow its vent to be moved
