Want to install a backboiler

    Just signed contracts to buy a house and it currently has an open fire place in sitting room (with no back boiler), house is oil heated.

    Was looking for some advice on potential cost of installing a stove with a back boiler?

    Looks like the hot press is directly above the fireplace (upstairs). I know a full survey/consultancy would be needed by an expert obviously to size up the job. But I was wondering could anybody give me a ballpark estimate of how much this would cost?

    Cheers in advance

    Totally depends on the house in question. Concrete floors, how hard are they etc
