That's about the right time Ted, it's a real bitch of a job to do. I hate those modern back boilers, always try to be too busy when one of those pops up. Fortunately Baxi didn't sell many so they don't come up often. One more year to go and I can wave them goodbye for ever.

Yes you know what a difficult task it is  Roy - Baxi man  says he does not need to remove the upper Granite effect hearth so that will make getting at the unions more difficult. Baxi man says he does not know how to remove it - two man job anyway.

I believe the fireplace surround is basically retained by four bracket & it lifts off looking at some old photos when the builders stripped our house out after the fire. Only the Hearth is stuck down with some sort of adhesive. Hopefully it will be sorted today the house is pretty cold even though its mild outside.

Big expense as well to change that for a standard wall mounted, plus you then need a new fire and surround.

As we live in a so called Dorma style bungalow aside from the loft there were few options available for replacing the old lounge back boiler.
I did not want the kitchen to look even smaller by fitting one in there.  The BBU was an expensive but easy option.
We have never used the front electric fire, it's an ornament really to cover the boiler plus the black granite fireplace feature made Wendy happy.
