Finding a plumber has been a nightmare. Lots of poeple to call, none of them ever call back. I text, I call again, nothing. So I've carried on. These are the primary pipes for the boiler:
These are in the kitchen. That alcove would have been a big fireplace. The boiler house is behind the chimney. I thought it would be a case of drilling through with a big drill and then all would be good. So bought a 30mm SDS drill that's 450mm long and drilled away. Got to the end of the drill bit, and still not through. Had to get a breaker bar and do the rest. Lucky the diameter of the bar was about the same as the hole! Turns out the chimney wall is about 600mm thick.
Here's the boiler in its new house:
Wish I'd held the camera straight!
That boiler house is this one:
The primary pipes in the top picture go up the wall. They exit in the room above. Unfortunately behind a wall:
That wall on the right after the open door was in the way. So:
That's going to be the shower in the family bathroom. The pipes will be behind the wall of the shower.

You might remember that the airing cupboard was looking like this.
