Thanks very much for that. Really helpful response and helping me to get my head around the oil boiler. Thanks!

Ah okay so we're just talking about potentially a few minutes of use without firing? I'm still trying to get my head around the economics of the oil. Like I said, with a gas boiler I get that it modulates to use a little or a lot of gas depending on the demand but I still don't see how an oil...

Thanks for the reply. Okay, forgive me as I just don't really get oil boilers at all... So when demand is lower, the boiler can continue to heat the UFH water without firing up and burning oil?

Thanks for the reply. I think most of this fits in with my understanding of the underfloor heating and as I said, I'm happy with how the UFH works/feels currently. I'm just not sure were using it in the best way with the oil boiler. Its a condensing boiler with a separate hot water tank. I...

We had underfloor heating fitted upstairs and downstairs late last year. It’s working fine as far as I can tell. However I’m not sure of best practice for UFH. The installer told us that underfloor heating should be left on all day long at a low temperature and it would be fine because UFH...

Just realised I have a photo!

I’ve just knocked out an old fitted wardrobe that was fitted before we moved in. As I’ve removed it, it’s exposed old vinyl tiles and where I’ve removed the skirting from the wall closest to the wardrobe, there’s a hole in the concrete floor. I’ve attached a photo. I can add a clearer on when...

Bit of a strange question maybe. We’ve bought a house with a 1980s extension and the floor is really bouncy. We’ve taken up the floorboards to see what we’re dealing with. The beams are just not very supportive. There’s quite a bit of bounce to the actual beams so that needs addressing...

It's an external boiler. Good to know the price is reasonable. Cheers. We've had a few quotes and got advice off several people and this was the consensus so fingers crossed its right.

Thats fair enough. We're out of touch with costs for building/trades so I just wanted to get an idea of whether it was reasonable. Thanks for the reply.

New member so I hope this is the right place to post. We're getting an external boiler and we need a concrete foundation laying for it in the garden along the side of the house. It needs to be 1 metre by 1 metre and around 40cm deep. We've been quoted £330 (including materials) by a...
