Markjay has a boiler going cheap in the classifieds.
May be cost effective.
I do indeed

I believe that any new boiler fitted now has to be a condensing boiler.
Where possible. There are exceptions.
We've got a wall mounted boiler here, fitted about 18 years ago. Never been serviced and runs like clockwork.Railwayman said:Repair it if you can find the parts in till you do the refurb. Will tell you this, you will never find a modern boiler that will last as long. Most wall mount combi's will do about 15 years if maintained well.
you can install a special plastic soak away to take the condensate which is installed surrounded by calcium carbonate chips about the size of rough gravel, this was done with my new oil system boiler and it got certified by a registered oil heating engineerDo you have any pointers, references etc to allowable exceptions?
I expect to face a boiler (oil) replacement in the next couple of years and simply have no access to condensate drainage without digging up the drive and installing new drains. That would probably also involve relocating the incoming underground electricity main and 3 outgoing electricity cables.

System boilers are great if you have more than one bathroom and do want really hot water with good pressure no matter how many taps you are running.
So we turned the water temp down to 35 and use less energy now heating the water only to cool it. Just putting this out there...we have no need of really hot water.
On the subject of water heating, when we replaced our 29 year old boiler last year, I recall a conversation with the installing engineer on the subject. In a sort of flash of comprehension I said to him 'so we should base the temperature of the water on whichever is the most pleasant of the bath water temperature and the shower temperature since our washing machine and dishwasher are cold feed in any case'? He said yes, you are striving for a temperature which allows either the bath water to fill on the hot tap with little addition of cold or the shower ditto. So we turned the water temp down to 35 and use less energy now heating the water only to cool it. Just putting this out there...we have no need of really hot water.
