Intergas HRE 28/24 Combi boiler on Melamine/Ply board?

[John Stocks]

Hi all,

I have tried to email Intergas about this and they still haven't got back to me!!

I have a plumber installing a new boiler and want to know if i need to remove the melamine board the previous boiler was on and fit a ply board then cover with plasterboard to get over the combustible side of things under building regs.

i know some boilers are able to be fitted to ply board but the manufacturers have to state this and i can't seem to get an answer from Intergas.

I'm a sparky (don't hate me!) but it's my own house so want to try and do as much as i can for the plumber before he gets there because he's on mates rates!!

No it’s fine

Condensing boilers can be fitted on combustible surfaces due to the lower flue temps

As above it should not make a difference.

Let’s have a three way mod agreement 😀 nothing to worry about

Make sure the Mates rates include registering it and filling in the Benchmark Checklist.

Is it string enough to take the weight?

I would be more concerned about the boiler bag of sheet
