The boiler in my 1964-built house is now 15 years old, floor-standing, with a metal flue, dog-leg to the original lined chimney-type flue, which has always been used for a boiler. It will need replacing in next few years. I have heard from a neighbour in a similar house, who was having some work done to his heating, that it was not possible to now replace his boiler 'like for like', due to new regulations. I thought regulation changes were only for new housing or installations, and not applied retrospectively. Anyone know if this is correct? Is there anywheree to download the regs. referred to? Any assistance appreciated.
