Just saying hello. My ancient combi boiler (1995 Worcester Bosch) has died, so I may be on here asking some annoying questions as things progress. I've just found out that I need to fit a condensing combi, for example.

My flat is rented out to a tenant so I need to do this work quickly. Problem is that it's a small one bed flat on the first floor of a block, with concrete floors. It looks like my flow and return pipes to the boiler might be under the concrete.

And to add to the fun, it looks like the management company might refuse for me to run the condensate pipe outside (the installer's suggestion having looked at the layout of my flat given that the boiler is at the opposite end of the property from the sink and toilet). This is because one of the Directors owns the flat downstairs, and the pipe would go down his wall (which is only communal when the same Directors want money to paint the exterior of the building - ha ha!).

Anyway, hello from one rather anxious (but determined) landlady.

:yesnod:
 
Id be looking at where you can terminate the condense pipe and working back from there.

What have the other tenants done? How do they get around it?

Just my thoughts. But there are also experts on here who will give you sound advice. Take your pick.

PS Welcome!

Hi all. Hope you have all been keeping well. A while back I decided I only wanted to fit one brand of boiler and decided on Viessmann due to space for servicing and changing parts if ever needing to. I am finding my decision rather hard due to the different clearances on flue runs and cupboards...

Hi they used to say as a last resort you could discharge the D2 pipework at high level and turn it back to the wall. Similar to a combi boiler. I have just looked back through the regs this seems to have changed and it isn't mentioned now. It now mentions if at high level it should be discharged...

Can anyone recommend a decent multi meter, preferably under a 100 pounds. It's for checking boiler components so I don't need a top spec one ....just easy to use and reliable. The fluke 115 looks good but its above my budget. My current socket and see one was great but it's developed a fault.
