I've used the same people for all my plumbing work and annual
Landlord's Gas Safety Checks for the past eleven years. My boiler
has definitely had it. It's at least 24 years old, the flue is
rusted around the corners and it's already had one replacement
thermocouple.

About ukp350, and I *want* it resited. It's currently in the bathroom,
and I want it in the cellar, flued and fed via the chimney.
