Cost of moving a boiler a few feet

Hello

I'm about to start doing up our kitchen. I'm planning various changes, including putting big doors in the rear wall. However, the boiler is right in the wrong place. I'd like to just shift it along a few metres into the corner, if it's not going to be prohibitively expensive. Does anyone know how much that sort of work would cost?

All rather depends on where its input/output pipes come in/go out and where the flue is

Input/output pipes all run to the left of the boiler, and I would be moving it to its left, thus just shortening the current pipework.

It's a combi/condensing boiler, and just vents to the outside wall. It would continue to do so in its new position...

We just had this done. We had the boiler moved and pipework extended and routed up through ceiling then down to boiler in the new position. We needed a new external condensate pipe. They plastered and made good where the boiler had been located. They also needed scaffolding to remove the old flue. It cost £480.

Bargain! I was expecting a four-figure answer, making it almost not worth it. But it is now... I wonder if the flue can be repositioned to the side of the boiler, so I can put the boiler on the party wall. I'm guessing not.
