Have found Worcester Bosch fit into a standard kitchen cupboard but wondered if there are any other decent brands that fit?

Surely this is just a case of finding out the dimensions of the boiler you know that fits [Worcester Bosch] and then comparing it to other boilers that you want? Boiler sizes are ready available on most listings.

Would have thought most do. Wasn't something we even considered when replacing our Ideal Logic situated inside a kitchen larder unit and no one who quoted mentioned it being an issue. Ended up with a Vaillant ecotech

Ours would fit in an Ikea wall cupboard (deeper than standard wall cupboards I think) but would be quite tight. Not something I'd want to risk as would make replacement complicated. Ours is in the top half of a full height larder unit. (Cupboard was fitted around original boiler, but boiler replaced with cabinet in situ).

Tons of room (and a multitude of sins hidden)

Pretty sure a GlowWorm would fit in a cupboard, I've seen a few fitted at various new-builds.

What size is a standard wall cupboard?

I thought ours were pretty standard - internal they're 680h x 560w x 330d

Vaillant ecoFIT is 700 x 390 x 295 - so it's bit too tall. Which I guess could be worked around unless the clearance it needs underneath lifts it too much.

I think there are also some regulations about free space and ventilation around boilers, I'd check this out as well.

Probably No use but the ideal logic fits snugly(inc flu) into an ikea 100mm high 600mm wide 400mm deep wall unit.

You need to check the boiler manufacturers instructions re the required clearances they need when fitted in a compartment as they vary from boiler to boiler.
