I currently have radiators in all rooms & hot water run from a back boiler behind my coal fire. The system has a header tank, a copper cylinder, a room stat & a programmer to control the pump. Is it possible to disconnect the pipework from the back boiler & extend it out to my downstairs bathroom (about 6 metres) & fit an oil fired boiler in there???

Is there such a thing as an oil fired boiler with no flu?

yes you can extend the pipe work but oil boilers must have a flue
