Thanks for the reply. It was mainly to check that it can be done with my current boiler and to get a very rough idea of cost.

I have a Worcester greenstar junior combi which works off a wireless thermostat that I have in the hall. If I want to add another heating zone so I can have separate control of the rads upstairs and downstairs what do I need to do? I'm assuming a new circuit board and a zone valve of some...

I'm planning an extension which will be about 4m by 7m. This will combine with an existing room to create a large open plan area of approx 8m by 7m. I would like to have a water based UFH system installed. For the 'newly built' half of the room it seems quite straight forward to specify UFH...

You're not wrong! Early research is looking at around £400 for the pump!!!! Up to £800ish for the cylinder and £150 for a 455 litre cold water tank and thats before a shower itself and fitting etc. Like I said I'm at the planning stage of a major refurb and an amazing shower and wood burning...

Thanks for that, I'm off to research indirect vented cylinders! :D :D :D

Thanks for the reply. A bit of it went over my head though! Sorry to be slow but can you explain what a vented cylinder and pump would actually entail to be fitted. Please excuse my lack or the right terminology but would the above be: Two water tanks in the loft one hot and one cold but...

Hi there, 1st post and a DIY numpty so please play nice! I'm at the planning stages of a major extension and refurb to my house. I was to install an en-suite shower room or wet room, not made the decision yet. Either way I want the shower to be a MONSTER, I'm talking warm fire hose!!! My main...
