    Back boiler replacement

    I’m looking to buy a property that had a back boiler and replacing this with a combi. The kitchen backs onto the fireplace so hoping it wouldn’t be too much of a job to relocate the boiler. The house has no gas heaters but obviously the house is connected to the gas through the back boiler. I know that prices will vary; but is there a rough costing for this? It’s a three bed house. Sadly I can’t get a gov grant as I don’t qualify. Any help will be appreciated in terms of potential cost to expect and also is it best to get radiators installs first and then replace boiler?

    Water tank room

    Over the back of where I live there is a block of flats that has a water tank room and I've noticed the last few weeks there is a constant humming noise and vibration coming from it that I can here and feel from my house. Its got worse each day. I have reported it to the company who manage the block of flats and they said they sent an engineer to inspect it and he couldn't here anything witch is ridiculous and he must be toned death. Do you think there is a fault and should I report it to the environmental health at my local council?
