    About to get some quotes on some work:
    1. Turn the tank so it takes up less garden space
    2. Move the burner adjacent to the house, so I don't have nice warm grass again this Winter :p.

    The tank and burner will be about 40ft apart when the work is complete.

    2 Questions:
    What ballpark should I be in quotes?
    Is is worth upgrading the burner at the same time to a high eff one, it's a 10yr old Bluebird 90/120?

    Thanks in advance

    If you could open the cleaning door of the boiler and take a few photo of the baffles / plates on the inside I'll tell you if you have a good standard new design of boiler or the old ineificient type, you see they changed the design about 2002

    Do you mean a FIREBIRD boiler, take pics anyway, and I'll tell you.

    Condensing boilers are best,
    Good standard type are good,
    Old type are crap

    Open the top. If it only has big square flat plates on the inside, change it ( crap type) very ineificient.
    BUT If it has a water panel in the centre and two set's plates on either side it's not such a bad boiler as standard boilers go.
    I forgot to mentione that warmflow use to use the name Bluebird on my first reply.
