Fireplace back boiler removal

Question

Just moved into my new house. It’s Oil heating and has an open fire. Im not sure if previous owner used the fire.  I’m getting new fireplace installed and have been told to remove back boiler before installation.  Is this something a plumber needs to do or is this a specialist job. Does it need to be completely taken out or is it just a matter of disconnecting it?

Hi a plumber can remove the back boiler, or you can get a gas safe engineer just in case there are any gas pipes that may need to be removed and on recommendation would remove the back boiler altogether hence may cost a little more but will be worth it in the long run.

Hi

You will need a Qualified Gas Engineer to undertake this work. 

Once the removal of the Boiler is carries out it will need to be capped of and Gas tested to ensure no gas leaks are detected.

Hope this helps,
Nik
