Planning out the new kitchen, the ideal place for the boiler (gas
condensing combi, model TBC) is in a corner, which puts it fairly close to
the kitchen sink - close enough that were you so inclined you could wash
up with one hand while fiddling with the boiler with the other.

Is this location permitted? I could site the feeding FCU below the
worktop out of the way if need be, although would prefer it to be in an
obvious visible position, above the worktop - would it make any difference
if it was? (it would also then be reachable by the suicidal washer-upper?)

Thanks

Not a brilliant piccie but if you look here
www.prestoncwu.co.uk/dvd/boiler.jpg you'll see that our boiler is very close
to the sink - no more than 12 to 14 inches - and the work has now been
completed, signed off by both the Part P police and CORGI, so the answer to
your question is yes, that's OK. FYI, other 'lectrics in photo are a double
socket and another FCU used as an isolator for the washing machine socket
under the worktop.
