Yep. My google skills so far have turned up SDP who's prices are not really very good and diynot which is a forum for exchanging info on this sort of thing. Oh also Plumbase are doing a "fill your boots" sale on copper pipe at the moment which seems pretty good.

Any recommendations?

Prices seem very good!

Is one make usually cheaper than the others?

I need an apex steel lintel above 4m bifold doors topped by fan light glazing. Any recommendations? Catnic, Keystone, Ig, Other? Would you get more than one quote?

Any good?

So Gledhill or Telford????

The idea was to match the existing tiles and then change the lot in 15 or so years (if they lasted that long). I might consider getting new tiles and doing the main house roof at the same time we put the extension up.

Oh

Is using 50 year old reclaimed concrete roof tiles on a new extension a good idea?

No but since the planning dep are forcing me to install some renewables this is a reasonable option.

Thanks but what are you recommending?

Can anyone recommend an unvented indirect solar cylinder 210L for less than £900?

I should think I'm quite a bit more intelligent than you chap, not usually considered hard of thinking by those who know me. I didn't at any point consider mixing the two systems on one zone even though I know very little about heating systems, unlike you who can easily tell the difference...

The rads will often be on when the UFH is on e.g. when it's cold. What's the problem exactly?
