Mounting a combi after a balanced flue

[thorn]

What do people generally prefer to do in this situation. Old boiler with square flue off the wall and new boiler in same place. Do you use a non combustible board or block up with rapid set cement or any other tricks I don't know about.
thanks

Ask your engineer - he will know.
It sounds like your considering doing it yourself ???
You wont get help if thats the case.

The best trick we know is protecting people from themselves by not giving advice in certain circumstances.

Cheers for that Phil - very insightful
ask your engineer?
i wasn't asking for instruction or guidance, just people's opinion

Rapid set mortar & a breeze block if your in a rush, these are nice & easy to cut to size! I do the outside on completion & take a lol more time with that.

 

[newcastle phill]

Ahh my bad, it doesnt say hes gas safe anywhere.
And looking at his limited posts hes been told before a few times for fishing for gas safe advice.
2 + 2 fishing + how to hang a boiler. .. = 5 obviously lol

Why doesnt it state hes gas safe ?
Possibly should be on gs forum ?

Accept appologies - sure you understand

It does under his name the yellow box saying gs registered, the same one you have under your name

I find its all down to prior planning and some bricks n mortar, leave it all to set on a friday, render the inside wall on Monday and core out a new flue hole, looks more professional than bodging over a hole with board, normally the customer appreciates a proper finish inside and out.

My apps playing up its blank.

Again Accept appologies.
Not ill intended

most boilers can go straight on to ply nowdays so thats the quickest way. lame it would be nice to get two days to do a boiler change

Agree with Steve. No customer cares what's behind the boiler. Bit of ply to hang the boiler on, take your time making the outside look as close to original wall as possible. I always try and match the original bricks if possible.

Depends on time frame for me. Lightwight blocks and rapid cement or a bit of ply and block up from outside.

rush rush rush, the youth of today doesnt understand the art of earning money , 2 days, what about the 3rd day for explaining controls, final flush and commissioning , no wonder you lot charge less than me

I don't like the boiler on ply idea!! Must look rough! I would much rather fill in the hole & hang the boiler on the wall!!!
