There's wires in the side closest to the PCB but none in the other side.

I meant the Nest E as the boiler is fitted inside a kitchen cupboard so no room to install a receiver next to it. In terms of wiring at the boiler end, what do I need to check?

Morning, hoping someone can help. I've got a Tower wall thermostat that is not working and have been thinking about upgrading to a Google Nest smart thermostat. I have a Potterton Titanium 28 combi boiler. Is Google Nest compatible and a straight swap?

Anyone?

Can anyone give me some advice as I have a Victorian Bay Window that is pulling away from the wall and looks like the wooden plate is rotten. What's the best way of repairing this and supporting the brickwork above whilst the repair is carried out. I have acrows and strongboys and scaffolding up...

I can't fit another row of tiles as the butterfly roof valley discharges into the box gutter and then slopes to a lead hopper at the end. I've replaced the wall plates and am fitting a uPVC fascia. Then repairing the lead and cromapolling the whole length

Have you got any experience of using lead replacement products to form the gutter like Rooftec Flex? Thinking it might be easier for me install as a diyer by taking off a few courses of the tiles first.

I have an old lead box gutter that has splits in it and is no longer fit for purpose. What is the best thing for a diyer to replace it with? I'll already ripped out the old wood that the lead was sitting on and will be replacing that aswell.

Did you complete the work as I'm interested in this?

Thanks for all your help and info. I went for a Viessmann Vitodens 100-W 35kw and I'm over the moon with it. I managed to negotiate a Nest thermostat so can control it using Alexa. No problems with the pressure and shower is far more powerful than before now it's on mains pressure!

I've had the flow rate and pressure checked again....14 litres per minute and 4 bar of pressure. Is this good enough for a combi in the loft? I've checked the regular boiler in the loft and it's a 2009 Worcester Bosch Greenstar 15ri so only 15kw and is only rated for 10 radiators. I've got 13...

I was under the impression the feed and expansion tank can be replaced with an expansion vessel that can installed next to the boiler. I'd only need the cold water coffin tanks in the eaves.

Thanks for your replies. The pressure and flow rate were done using the outside tap but, based on your replies, I've just checked the stopcock under the sink and it wasn't fully opened. I'm going to use a measuring jug tomorrow in the daylight to retest the flow rate....fingers crossed!

I'm hoping for some help from anyone that's gone through the same process as I'm about to start. I'm looking to convert our loft and currently have a fully functional regular heating system with f&e tank, cold water tank and Worcester Bosch boiler that looks under ten years old all in the loft...
