Upon further investigation this seems to be a bigger undertaking than I'd thought! I won't be buying the house :)

I might put in an offer for a house tomorrow but it has a huge basement, which is intimidating as i know nothing about them. Is it an asset or a curse? My wife is convinced it would suck all the heat out of the house. Anyways, a bit of research and with doing the prep work DIY before getting...

There is quite a lot of piping unfortunately (feed, return and...

Some time ago i got new central heating installed by a guy who turned out to be a bodger. He punched the pipe work through my hallway rather than find a wall or cupboard to run it through. Anyway i now have this difficult situation (see photo) and I'm not willing to pull up my professionally...

OK thanks John. I'll get a sparky then and hope they can hide it.
