Just to update, finally got round to taking to scrappy's.....whilst waiting in a queue to get in, a pair of *****'s offered me £150 for the lot. I took £200 :) I hadn't cleaned it up either, so happy with that.

Johnny, suppose given time and lack of natural resources, plastic will be the norm, good to know that the o-rings hold up, as that was my main concern. Blup, soldered :-)

Just an update. Team of 4, all experienced, came and got the job done in a day. Never stopped from the moment they arrived till they'd done (not even for a brew). Each one had a specific role, worked like clockwork, they do a lot of these jobs together. All copper pipes etc Done a crackin...

Cheers chaps, appreciate the replies. I hope Mrs lost stopped and put it in the back of the car :D

:D think I'll have to be conscientious aswell then, and get myself down to the scrappy's :)

Has anyone recently weighed in a copper cylinder or have an idea of what I'd get scrap value? Have all copper pipes from 3 bed semi aswell. Or can it be sold on? It's Newark Copper Cylinder, 825/450, grade 3, 106 litres not sure how old Cheers

Just been quoted for doing it in a day, thought it was optimistic so wanted to see if if was poss. I'm assuming there'll be about 3-4 in a team

Quick question. Can a new central heating system be fitted in one day? It will be fitted in an empty (no furniture etc) 3 bed semi that's had all previous ch system, pipes and rads removed already. Floorboards are up where old pipes went (notches in joists could be reused as all of the new...

1st choice is in the utility, although vulcans following idea is beginning to grow on me.. 'Might as well ask a neighbour if you could put it in their kitchen' I like it, solves all the issues :-) Will have a look at the idea of maybe a temp weatherproof cupboard for it until the garage...

Hi Going to be having a combi put in soon, not sure whether to have it in the current utility room or in the loft, read on for reasons. Would have had it in the garage...but it hasn't been built yet. See attached picture for position of boiler if put in utility room. Black lines is current...

That's roughly the plan of action I'm leaning toward thomp, cheers pal

Agree thomp, not concerned about the neck ache people like to bring up. Unless you're sitting on the floor directly underneath the tv watching for 5-6 hours at a time, which I don't have time to do, also sat at other side of room so the angle won't be much different on the neck. Regards the...

Thanks for the replies, personally I don't see anything wrong with a microwave in the lounge I've also got the washing machine in the bedroom and the oven under the stairs TV isnt going to be quite that high, it's actually a bit bigger aswell marked it out in a rush last night. As stated in...

Hi, would appreciate any advice on how to hide wiring for TV mounted on chimney breast, as shown in picture. Virgin/Sky box will be located at side of chimney in cupboard/shelving. Soundbar or speakers possibly either side of chimney?? My thoughts are: Drill through side of chimney (possibly...

Plan was to plasterboard the top and maybe the walls
