ChrisR said:NickStone for gawd sake tell us where your meter is! Is it down at ground level or in your flat!
It would be unusual for an engineer to make pronouncements about the shared bit, which is before the meters. That's at some unknown higher pressure.

There is probably a central duct that the pipes run through. How old is the building? Is it a converted house?
but apparently still not big enough for a combi.

Can't think why? I suppose they're not going back to the meter?
Lets hope its a better conversion than most of the 80's conversion we deal with in London
chrishutt said:Nick, if you already have a boiler fitted it would be quite easy to measure the existing pressure drop through your gas pipe and then calculate what the drop would be for a bigger (combi) boiler, as I think ChrisR mentioned. It would then be possible to determine the extent to which it needs upgrading. However only a very capable gas installer would know how to do this and you may have to hunt around a bit to find one (I'm in Bristol by the way ).
No way! I get all the work can manage through word-of-mouth and existing customers, as would any decent gas installer. You can contact posters on this forum by clicking on their names (in blue) and seeing if their profile includes an email address.NickStone said:Are you listed in Yellow Pages?
