<font color='#000080'>Assuming it's RS/FF combi it can go in any room or compartment- Electrical Regs apply if you put it in Bath/Shower room. Flue extensions/bends expensive so nearer standard (ie outside wall/ roof) the better. Usually allowed 3-4m horizontal flue length.
RS/BF combi, again, any room but needs outside wall to mount on.
OF combi- rare beasts nowadays, more restricted siting-wise and needs vents to provide air for combustion.
Closer to HW outlets- kitchen /bathroom the better. The further from Gas meter the bigger the supply-pipe will need to be. If it's 8-10yrs old fit a new one- they'll stop making parts for it soon (if they haven't already!) Should be some bargains about soon with the HE Regs coming into force April 1st 2005- just reminded me - a condensing boiler also needs pipng to a drain-point for condensate.
Moving boiler from kitchen = new kitchen ... .. OUCH!!
Hope this helps,
