I'm having an extension built and need a new boiler etc. I'm keen on having an unvented system, but the builder's plumber sucked his teeth when I suggested it. He said it would be better pumped for a variety of reasons and I'd just like some opinions. The pressure is fine, but the flow isn't too good. The incoming main in the house is 15mm so can a larger one be tapped off upstream? (I think the main from the road is the original 1926 one. Iron?) His other reasons were that you have to ask the water board for permission, and that it'll be much more expensive than a conventional system. Oh............and he hasn't done the course yet.
I'd rather not step on the builder's toes before we've even started but this guy comes across as a bit of a numpty, and I've got to get my facts right before I get another plumber.
(By the way the house will be 4 bed, 2 bath/shower, 2 daughters and washing machine in 24 hour operation!)
