It was just an additional comment.. Sorry that mentioning another point caused offence.. I think we need to wrap this one up... We arn't getting anywhere.. Everyones points are taken on board.. However, sometimes its not as easy as implied, when you live in a rural area and the selection of...

I am not asking anything. I was just looking to close this discussion with a final update incase it helped anyone in the future.. But people still keep telling me I am wrong..

Survey? What survey? When i bought the house? If 12kW is fine for my house, it must be WAY over sized for the countless small houses they are fitted in and they don't have a problem... This is what I don't get... If a 12kW is right (or too big) for a 120m2 house (with 240m2 of floor space over...

I did a bit of digging today and found something.. All of the (identical) houses around me which were built in the same 18 month period have 18kw boilers.... Mine is the only house with a 12kw... I found the original documentation today and someone has torn off the label stuck at the top which...

I take on board everything you say.. But there are a couple of things I didn't mention. 1.. Whilst it heats the house up to temp, I am not sure it does this as quickly/efficiently/effectively as it could as I have nothing to compare it too... All I know is that in the 2 years it took to build...

I am swaying towards that to be honest.. I have seen mixed reviews of them and really wanted to go for the best in class, but considering the only real options are to run a cable, which might not be easy, or live with a premium boiler but the added complexity of wireless pump control which could...

thanks for the reply.. The programmer/timer is in the airing cupboard, so there is nothing downstairs with the boiler. There is boxing for what I believe is a soil pipe close by, so this is an option and I am going to get up in the loft this weekend to see if it goes all the way from top to...

Bravo!

Was that aimed at me? Believe me, I run everything into the ground and fix anything I can until its beyond repair. This boiler would have been scrapped years ago, but I sourced cheap parts to keep it running.. But its finally reached end of life.. It seems that in the 10 years before I moved in...

Thanks all... The point many of you made was also made by the fitters. If a 12kW has been fine, why upgrade... But the point is, I don't know if its been as good as it can be and whether it could be better and/or heat the house quicker as I have nothing to compare with.. So I am swaying towards...

I need a new boiler and have been quoted for various makes, but I had pretty much settled on a Worcester Bosch just because of reliability. But then the subject of "Pump Overrun" came to light. It seems that my system is currently fed by 3 wires (L, Neutral and Switched Live) and I am missing...

My current boiler is an Ideal HE12 Heat Only (with hot water cylinder), and this always surprised me as the house is relatively big (5 bedrooms, 18 Radiators, 3 Showers, 2 bothers. That said, many of the radiators are small.. And the house is modern and well insulated. I always felt that 12kW...

Good one.. That would work.. I have plenty.. Thanks for that...

There is a 5 meter long, triangular 40x40mm gap above a "frame" which was bodged into the vaulted roof of my garage by the previous owned and I want to fill it.. I have off cuts of 10mm plasterboard lying around. so my plan is to cut it into strips and cover the gap.. This will mean having 5...

Yes.. The strip was under the door. When the door was changed, they left it and I assumed it was just some trim, but when I cut it out, I realised it was covering the cavity.. I didn't really have much choice to remove it as it was too thick to tile over... But with hindsight, I might have left...
