Moving oil boiler 10m ?

As above, planning to move my oil boiler from the side of the house to the side boundary. Total distance is 10m. Do I need to provide insulated pipe on the flow and return pipes ? Any other requirements? Thanks.

You need to have good insulation on those pipes. It's over 30 foot and has potential for enormous heat loss. You will also need a 4 core cable. Also repositioning oil line and regulations regarding that. Maybe condensate disposal will need to be considered. You will also have to be cognisant of the siting regulations regarding boundaries.
You should have your service guy look it over and advise you, to be on the safe side.
