Hi Peeps, We're going to be re-doing our bathroom fairly soon and we're looking at what sort of WC to install. We quite like the look of these Back to Wall WC units. Something like this : Does the waste for the pan on the back to wall unit have to go straight through the back of...

It's a whole other world... :shock:

And how have I done that exactly? I don't understand why you are being so confrontational. If anyone is being an ass it's you! All I did was ask some questions. Apologies if these offended you. I'm interested in how things work. What's wrong with that? In my original post did I say I...

Thanks for that. I haven't bought anything yet, so will get them to quote for the lot as well.

Sorry Tony. Didn't mean to cause offence. Another loose term.

Sorry for the loose term. I use it as a generic one... Apologies if I caused offence. It's kettling. I'm not going to throw good money after old. Thanks for your understanding. I wasn't asking for sympathy but just trying to convey the bigger picture... in that we are going to do a lot...

Hi Guys, We've got an "OLD" Potterton Flamingo 50 in our house. It's given us notice and I am looking to replace it next month. I had hoped it would last another year and had planned to replace the cylinder and bathroom at the same time, but sadly funds won't allow for this at this time...

Thinking outside the box! I like that. Thanks for the link. I'm a bit knackered now, but will give the article a good read and digest. Cheers!

Thanks Guys. There's certainly lots to think about. I appreciate your time and suggestions. Cheers, Blondebier

Good point. That pretty much rules out Viessmann as all their system boilers are condensing. :roll:

It's a 4 bedroom house. We've got one bathroom with a shower over the bath. 3 rads downstairs, 6 upstairs. Cavity wall insulation and loads of rockwool in the loft space. If you need to know any more let me know. We want a backup for hot water if the boiler breaks down... Not wanting a...
