Likewise, can a boiler be moved? All boilers use a flue system but if your boiler is no longer in production, you may not be able to find the right flue – and you can't reuse your old one. Without a new flue, you won't be able to move your current boiler. Ultimately, moving an old boiler can end up almost as expensive as fitting a new one.

Additionally, can I install my own gas boiler?

It's not technically illegal to carry out DIY gas work in your own home* as long as you are 'competent' to do so, but the consequences of doing so without the necessary skills are hugely dangerous. Working with gas is a complex and dangerous task that requires extensive training, knowledge and experience.

How high can a boiler be installed?

If your boiler flue has to face out onto a public space, the installer will have to ensure that it's fitted at least 2.1 metres above ground level, over head height.
