Hi Boiler is on the way out (25 years old) This forum is usually top draw at this kind off stuff, so hope you don't mind me asking.

So going to need a new boiler and I have no idea what I am looking for, and the do's and dont's

Current boiler came with our new build house 25 years ago, it is a standard gas boiler that heats up a large water tank in an upstairs cupboard.

should we look at a direct replacement? is this the cheapest option? average ball park figures I should be looking at?

I literally have no idea if a new boiler is 1k or 10k

Is it better to get a combi? I guess that means we can get rid of the water tank and use the space for storage then?
would the plumber do this at the same time?

Also is it worth doing anything else at the same time? I know with cars it is good to do some jobs together.. eg. a service with a timing chain change as you already have the engine open ect, it is cost effective.
Is this the case in getting a new boiler, anything other jobs that go with it?


cheers.
