I was quoted £2.2k in London for a new combi, but I specified a Vaillant
that seems to cost around £1000. In the end, it was done by someone
else for around £1700.

But you can also get a combi for £500 less.

Really? I was looking for 28KW, and the cheapest I could find is around
the £500 mark. Maybe your search skills are better than mine? Anyway,
there's clearly scope to save a few bob on the boiler.

Are boiler fitters very strong? Some of these boilers are really quite
heavy.

I removed a back boiler with a cast iron heat exchanger from a flat I'm
renovating. No problem getting it downstairs on the sack truck, but
there was no way at all I could get it in the car to take it to the

If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will
eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such
time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic
and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally
important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for
the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the
truth is the greatest enemy of the State.

Sometimes its the awkward place they need to go that makes it hard -

in place directly. So in the end I stacked up a few power tool cases on
the worktop, sat the boiler on them so that it was an inch higher than
the wall bracket, and pushed it back against the wall. Hanging it was
then just a job of keeping it against the wall, while pulling one of the
tool cases out from under it so that it dropped onto the bracket.

(It can be more fun getting the old ones out - the Mexico I took out of

something that would slide out easily, and also gave a bit of mechanical
advantage to the end that needed lifting).

that's the way to do it. Another is to use 2 piles, adding a bit to each one in turn. They must be laterally stable enough though.

Screw it to the wall. Lift the boiler into place safely, then unscrew it
again.

My Viessmann has a mounting frame which weighs very little. You fix that
to the wall first, then fit the boiler to that - an easy job. I had no
trouble doing it on my own, and I'm not Charles Atlas.

My Kestion was 43kg IIRC (mostly stainless steel heat exchanger which
has very thick walls), and I was mounting it high up on a wall.
The combined weight of the boiler and me exceeded the max ladder
weight, and it was an awkward shape to lift.

I decided before climbing the ladder that no way was I going to risk
my back in saving it if it became unstable to lift, and I would simply
drop it on the floor and write it off (£650 at the time).
In the event, I had prepared it all correctly, and it hooked on the
wall bracket quite easily. I did wonder if the bracket would hold,
but 16+ years later, it's still fine!

If I'd had to do another one, I would have taken the heat exchanger
out to lift it, now knowing how simple that is for that boiler.
However, I didn't want to do that with a brand-new boiler I wasn't
familiar with at the time.

I removed a back boiler with a cast iron heat exchanger from a flat I'm
renovating. No problem getting it downstairs on the sack truck, but
there was no way at all I could get it in the car to take it to the

We lugged my brother's old floor-standing cast iron lump out into the
front garden. It was gone in 2 hours, including all the metal side
panels. Very convenient.

Can you lift 96kg?

Probably - just - but I would not risk trying to lift it outright these
days! (I find it too easy to injure myself!)

Otherwise, how did you get it into the car in the
first place?

By only taking part of the weight at any given time...

Rocking it onto an edge let me get a sack trolley under it. Some wood
ramps on the steps to wheel it out of the garden. Then at the car a
rolled up blanket on the edge of the tailgate (for protection), and prop
one end of long scrap rad on it as a ramp. Wheel the boiler a little way
up the ramp, and then tip it forward and lower it onto the rad. Pick up
the far end of the rad (that gives me some mechanical advantage, and the
car already has more than half the weight), slide the lot into the car.
Unloading was kind of the reverse of the process

(I did not think the accelerate backward quickly and then brake
technique would be looked upon favourably in the scrap yard ;-)

At least you only have to usually lift it up onto a bracket. I am
physically reaching the point where I am struggling to do that. It's
time to get more exercise done.

It took 3 of us (and some swearing) to get my old Ideal Mexico boiler up
the garden steps. Apparently swearing alters the value of gravity when
you are lifting heavy things.

I have yet to see them in a school apart from the special needs
schools/areas. In fact I was rather surprised that I could take my

It had a photo of me, my name on it and a QR code square - the normal
