Yeah, I plan on running it through a joist then under the next secured with a clip to minimise that issue. Each joist should be 16" approx so shouldn't be a problem in the slightest. Even if the piping runs parallel along the joists I'll be securing again with clips. I also know I need to give...

Thats fine guys, i'm watching from a far lol.. Any and all advise is taken on board for me also.

Of course.. Happy days :-)

Correct me if i'm wrong but shouldn't you "ideally" insulate as much of the pipework as possible as it'll cool slightly over long runs. Even using the current notches you can insulate to the notch, then at the other side of the notch up to the next one & so on??

Even though it's stained, is the wall actually wet??

Just whilst i'm thinking about it... I'll be running the pipework under the floor downstairs, through the wall and above the ceiling (below the upstairs floor) however I'm guessing it'd be a good idea to insulate the Speedfit PEX barrier pipework??? Or is it ok without??

Thats fair enough. Thats why i'm planning on doing the whole system without the need for a current boiler being in place. I think a couple of days to remove all the old stuff and replace, re-route all he new should be enough, especially as I'll have pretty good access & and plus I know where the...

To be honest when the renovation work is complete there'll only be one large open plan living space approx 21ft x 24ft so will be fitting 2 rads in that room.. One on either side of the room, slightly offset for even distribution of the heat. This room will also have a Small modern style wall...

How long have you spent on it so far & actually how far are you from completion??

There is no loft, it's a 1970's dormer bungalow. There is currently a tank in a relatively large cupboard, however I want to remove the tank and utilise that space for an en-suite shower room for the master bedroom.. it's big enough. There might be room for the cistern in the apex of the roof...

Spot on.. that's exactly what I was looking for. I was planning on fitting inline service valves at every single tap / toilet etc I'll be getting the incoming pressure & flow rate checked Anything to do with the Gas side of things is not my level so will certainly be being left to the...

Thanks, but the reality is that I will be laying the pipe, we all need to learn sometime & when better to do it is before we move into the property and the floors etc will be up making access as easy as it's going to get. Calcs is something i'll look into ;-) Perfect, appreciated John, thanks...

Gents.. I'm after a few answers to what would be simple questions to the "experienced" around here.. I'm a novice, I don't dispute that however I've recently purchased a 1970's Dormer bungalow which hasn't had any work carried out since the day it was built. My budget is limited so looking to...
