Can I move a boiler to a loft?
Yes, provided the loft has a permanent boarded access route, a light, a permanent ladder and a solid platform for the boiler. All are typically installed as part of the job.
Do I need a magnetic filter when moving a boiler?
Always recommended, and manufacturer warranties usually require one. It protects the new boiler from sludge in the existing radiator circuit.
