Its a long shot on a paving forum but.....Im due a new boiler on Monday, and the area its being installed is shite. I was wondering if i can make a stud wall and mount it on? What are the regulations on mounting boilers on stud walls? If anyone could help it would be appreciated.

only your gas safe installer can tell you that simon
anyone not gas safe cannot even touch a boiler

Regulations wise, as far as i know its possible i think you need to line behind it with fireline board or similar. As with anything like this though only the guy who will sign it off can tell you what he is happy with. i.e your gas safe fitter as Luton says

you can put a boiler on any type of wall you want providing it is securely fastened and has a correct flue installed etc.
