It could only happen to us Boiler has shut down E110 I think
Seabeowner:
Father in law had his boiler moved from bedroom to loft about 10 years ago or so. They insisted on good access with a quality fitted ladder. But it worked out fine.
My father had storage heaters. They all had separate 20A switched d/p outlets.

Our condensate pipe was replaced in 2018 by the contractors following our house fire in Nov 2017.
They fitted a more rigid type of translucent pipe that is routed through the rear of our fireplace into the kitchen waste water system where it is connected by a neat bespoke connector similar to the Speedfit type of unit.

Recently had exactly the same problem. The pipe in our house runs behind the plaster board between the kitchen and bathroom. The joints were attacked by the acidic condensate and only found out when a patch appeared on the bathroom wall. The studding and insulation were soaking wet. I’ll check out condensulate,
sounds like the perfect solution.

Working in chemical plant, all of the pipes were rigid pvc type, with glued together fittings for terminals, routing etc.
One of the easiest to work with too, just a blade type pipe cutter and all glued joints, highly impervious to high and low pH chemicals and ultra reliable. Absolute doddle to design and install.

We are limited as to where we can fit a replacement normal condensing boiler as the lounge unit is in the centre of the house using a special plastic double chimney arrangement to draw in fresh air in from the chimney top.
I do not want a boiler unit in either of our upstairs bedrooms or in the bathroom (too small anyway.) The front lounge /room is not really suitable that leaves only the kitchen (major rework)or at a push the downstairs toilet.
Only option I can see would be in the loft but access for servicing is less than ideal not to mention all the pipework being re-routed.

Not sure where your airing cupboard is Ted but a good option can be a Combi in that position. We do plenty of those conversions, it’s pretty standard and works well, only real things to overcome are the gas supply, the flueing and the condense waste.
