You could try to find a less antique, used, condensing oil boiler as s stopgap. People do rip them out

How's that sit with Oil Safe regs and pollution controls.. if it's not good & you try to sell your place & it's been fitted in it could cost you a lot of lost dosh .

No idea - but he's considering moving one from 1987!! They're very serviceable and testable, a plumber should be able to

On the subject of saving electricity.
Four/five years ago - I spent a fortune on our two sites - going low energy/water usage.
Plus a project to use reclaimed/filtered grey water for flushing toilets.
Proper large amount of money - got tax relief and a small ECO grant.
I am now rewarded with the sad fact we don't use enough electricity to qualify for a decent low commercial unit rate.
To be honest - we use so little - I have a job to get any interested in quoting us for it.
So I spent all this money - and my electrical bills now cost more (even thou I use less).

Our Oil Safe registered guy who put in our Worcester Bosch combi oil burner 2 yrs ago ( Also services it ) said as he has to do a certified emissions cert on commissioning a new installation / replacement and one after servicing it then send off a copy to the council . He said it's not worth his while to get caught out as most of the older set up's can't meet the latest anti pollution requirements.

He might be right. But that doesn't mean he can't fit a s/h boiler. Just that the boiler has to meet the spec. So, for example, the s/h condensing oil fired grant boiler (which is still sold brand new and meets current regs) I bought and had fitted and tested was fine. And would be fine for your heating engineer too, although he's bound to prefer fitting new - it's less hassle and he won't be saving the £1000 or so on the price of a new one.
Mine was being replaced for an external one in a small cottage, rather than because it was ancient or worn out.

So does that basically means I cannot even consider just moving my old boiler because it can't be signed off?

ON differing note - another member here - PM'd me with a recomendation of a book to read...
Maybe - just maybe my "doom and gloom" of population density theory is wrong.
I did the decent thing (environmental thing) and bought a secondhand version of the tittle recommended off eBay and it has arrived today.
James.... It is all about other peoples opinions - listening to them - gathering the info - making a better informed decision.
Not read a book for ages - when I mean "read".
I often look up things for reference. Read little bits of books.
But the cover to cover - sit and read a fiction book for pleasure - I have not done for ages.
(not that this is fiction book - it was a non fiction book that was recommended)

I have very recently bought a second hand book from The Bay,
To read cover to cover,
I have not read a book, in at least the last 10 years, if not longer,
Oh,
And its a history book
