Hi there, thanks for the help, appreciate it. I did a few tests. I turned the kitchen tap, upstairs bathroom tap and shower all on at the same time at their hottest setting and they all stayed incredibly hot at the same time. I guess this suggests that the boiler isn't having issues with...

We had a concealed Pura mixer shower installed in our bathroom in July 2018. IVTCV – 120mm x 280mm This year it's slowly been getting hotter and hotter having to turn the knob more and more to mix in any cold to the point that there was barely any cold water All the other taps in the house...

Great, thanks so much for taking the time to write such a thorough response, makes a lot of sense. We've figured out where we want all our sockets, lights etc.. and have decided on what we're getting so yes, we'll fire up photoshop and do our own overlay with all these kinds of details that we...

Ha ha, sorry I'm not fixated on Worcester, I have 0 plumbing knowledge so I'm just going for this as my current one is a Worcester. Basically I'm getting an extension, never done the process before. I've got planning permission done and going through the building regs stage and I'm just unsure...

Thank you for all the help. Our architect has allowed 4 cm on the outside so this sounds good. He's made a lot of mistakes which has meant resubmitting a few times so I'm just double checking things :)

Hi there, thanks for information. That all makes perfect sense, and woody I'm pretty sure I have a "crap plan monkey" :( So it sounds like the standard process is to have enough information to get building regs approved, and then go through another process of drawing out where all the wiring...

Hi there, we're having a new extension. I guess the standard thing is to have the thickness of the exterior wall and place the double glazed window in the middle. We were thinking it would be good if the window was closer to be flush with the exterior wall so on the inside you have a deepr...

Hi there, planning approved. Structural calculations underway by a structural engineer and other bits by the architect. My question is, what needs to be considered in this process? For instance, do we need to work out where all the light sockets need to be, wiring, what kind of boiler we'll...

Hello again. Thanks for all the help so far. So I turned on the outside tap which is right outside the kitchen, no other taps were on and a 12 litre bucket filled in 53 seconds so, does that mean I have a 13.58 litres a minute flow rate? Is that good? So how do you go about calculating what...

Great thanks for all the help. So I was looking at a Greenstore SC-210 which has a hot water capacity of 210 litres, is this over kill for a family of 4? Is there some kind of formula that is used to estimate what size cylinder to get? Thanks again.

Oh and do I need some kind of expansion vessel as well?

Hi there, thanks for the advice. I might have room downstairs, how large are they, do they need to be near the boiler? If I didn't get a HW cylinder what might be the problem?

Hi there, wondering if I can get some advice? I've got a house, 5 radiators and one bathroom. We have a Greenstar 24i Combi Junior, the speed of the hot and cold water is pretty good. But when you turn a tap on and you're having a shower the pressure of the shower goes down. If you turn on a...

Thanks for the reply. I'm sorry, I thought I'd attached the images, here you go. Not sure why the pictures are showing so much pink, it's not actually like that.

Hi there, it seems to be a common subject but here you go! A year ago we moved into our first house and had our walls fixed for rising damp, through a combination of damp proof coursing and injections into the walls. We've now painted the room and everything is great except two small areas...
