Thanks for the interesting discussion. To clarify a couple of points, the only work I agreed to was the ECIR at a fixed price of £119 (a fairly typical price through these landlord compliance agencies). I assume the sparky was qualified despite having an unpronounceable name. RF, I'm not...

EFLI - yes, it includes the certificates. That's how they (try to) justify the price. Why can't he self-certificate?

I rent out a flat in London. With tenants about to change it needed an EICR, which has failed due an old "hot wire" fuse box and lack of RCD. The property agency who sent the ECIR sparky have quoted £700 for the work. I queried it, pointing out that the flat is small with few circuits, and...

Fine, I didn't know the 60 degree requirement. But if it's heated water from the mains only feeding a shower would that matter?

JohnD - bit of both. But it's quite a big house (five bedrooms, heat zoned upstairs /downstairs). It's OK at the moment but I'm not sure how much it will like another 30+ sq m of underfloor heating. Dan - what was your temp target there? I have a formula that's showing 50 litres heated in one...

Sorry guys, should have said - oil boiler heats the main cylinder. Also this is part of a 30 sq m, 2-storey extension JohnD - "Underpowered" is a bit subjective. Boiler is big enough currently but does take its time getting everything up to temp. A bigger cylinder is a good idea but the...
