OK I have been recommended a Worceter Bosch FS 420CDi which can use a flexible flue using the current chimney. Flue length is 12 m so will reach the height we need. This combination means we can replace old boiler with new in the same location without any disruption or rerouting of pipes...

Hi Sam Oh dear, thats not what I hoped to hear!! The boiler is in a full height cupboard with the old flue going through at 45deg to what was originally the outside wall. However an 2 storey extension has been added which now encloses the flue. A further extension (kitchen) to the rear...

d hailsham - this is the solution that I was looking for. The cost of the flue will be offset by the huge disruption and cost of having to lift boards and running new pipework into the loft or onto an outside wall as has been suggested by visiting engineer. I get the feeling that they were...

Tony Thats very useful thanks There is 1.3m in the loft - acess is available through the trap door- working space would be difficult but not impossible. I suspect that getting the gas pipe up would be the difficult bit - need to take floors up, etc. Are there any other problems I should be...

Agile - the engineer said that there was insufficient space in the loft - its a standard pitched roof 1930s style - so Im not sure why not. for sambotc - the old boiler has a vertical metal flue...

None except both heating installers who have been round have both said that I could only instal combi boilers' - there was nothing else because there is insufficient ventilation for the present or a replacemenrt regular boiler - if that makes sense. The problem is with the present boiler...

I need to replace our old mexico boiler with a combi boiler. Problem is that the boiler is in the centre of the house with no direct acess to an outside wall. Mounting on an outside wall would mean a huge disruption to floors and ceilings to reach an outside wall. Is there a combi boiler...

Shower is a separate installation and is powered by its own pump but will now bw impossible to add to. Best bet is looking like changinng taps - Ill look at bristan grohe twyfords and find a suitable low pressure tap Many thanks Roger

MAny thanks - would the pumps need to be fitted between the sink and bath I think replacing the taps for low pressure will be the answer - from a quick look most taps appear to be for at least 1 bar - ther e are very few specifically down to .2bar. Do you have a recommended manufacturer...

Yes fully open -Should add that new taps on sink, same make as bath, only 6ft up line are ok for pressure

Replacement bath (large)now fitted and Twyfords QB mixer tap with shower outlet)fitted but flow is so slow it will take ages to fill - hot will be cold before full! Previous mixer tap unknown make & quality (1/4 turn type) but have lasted at least 18 years produced good flow. Cold is...
