New plumbing after back boiler removal

Anonymous user 28/02/2024 - 3.55 PM

Hi. My husband and I are buying a two bed cottage which currently has radiator heating fed by a wood burner heated back boiler. We'd like to decommission that and close off that chimney, making it into a cupboard for a new (either combi or condenser) boiler, with the hot water tank in the cupboard beside it. Hot water is currently from an electric immersion. We'd like everything to run instead from the new boiler. Is that something you could do for us? Everything is downstairs except for two radiators and a potential cloakroom upstairs. I'm wondering if we can use the existing back boiler plumbing to connect to the new boiler?

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

With a flush im sure you could, a good flush though!, however sealed systems run at greater pressures so there could be leaks once up to temp and pressure but tbh their few and far between.
