Putting my boiler in a kitchen unit?

Clearances
The boiler should be positioned so that at least the minimum operational and servicing clearances are provided, see your owner's manual. If you haven't got one, try here:

Additional clearances may be required around the boiler for installation purposes.
I have a glow worm 100e compact fitted in a larder cupboard, hides it fine, but, gives the serviceman grief when it needs repairing! The minimum clearance each side was 5mm, but at least 150mm below & 25 ABOVE THE TOP OF THE BOILER CASE OR THE FLUE ELBOW IF FITTED. Hope that helps, oh, & make sure your fitter is corgi registered for safety & insurance puposes!
