Maria, box it in (all of it).
Alternatively cut down a cupboard and stick a door on the front,
making the cupboard lift-off (you can buy brackets which lift off).
The instructions will say what ventilation it requires, as in a bottom
vent& top vent of certain area etc.

Sounds like a good idea, as long as it will be wide enough. I have the
manuals which have the clearances on it, but I might have to move some
electrical points (mains switch and RC thermostat thingy)

Remember to fix the hole in the ceiling, just in case you miss it (!).

I would have moved the SFCU on the RHS further away from the pipework,
but that is just me.

SFCU?

Unfortunately they wouldn't move anything, even for cash.
The overseeing electrician was ok with it, though having said that, I
paid him 25 to remove a ceiling fan and replace it with a cheap pendant
and it hasn't worked since!

Others cable tie the supply cable to the lead gas
pipe, making it festoon on its cramps, but the cable ties are at the
correct spacing for the cable diameter...
