Can anyone tell me what the minimum distance between a wall hung boiler and a freestanding cooker space is. Cheers
 
Cos I have a site agent claiming its 200mm where as I'm sure it ain't that far.

Phoned them and they said it doesn't say anything about it in there instructions 🙂
 
Haven't got a clue with the cooker as it's social housing so they will end up bringing their own cooker.

Hope you can read this, these are the minimum clearances to combustible materials, I assume the front edge of boiler will be plastic so combustible
 
my main concern will be if the boiler internals can take the moisture and temps. Does the boiler have an ip rating?

its unlikely there will be a british standard other than the cooker clearances kirk has posted, so common sense and personal opinion will come into it. Your site manager may be refering to a measurement hes been asked to adhere to in the past by a cleak of works for example.

its the same for leccy sockets, you would thing there are standard measurements away from cookers and sinks.
