Thank you muggles. Stopcock fully open. No pressure drop when one or two taps running, but flow rate on one tap which I only get 10ltr/m from anyway) slows a little when another is turned on. It's 15mm pipe from the stopcock to the outside tap (where I'm taking the flow rate from), but it's...

Hi, So my pressure is about 5.6 bar, flow rate 19-20 ltr/min. Would this be suitable for an unvented cylinder? What about the option of starting with a combi, and switching to a cylinder at a later time should the need arise? Is what I've read about combi boiler being used as system boiler...

Thanks for replies! The flow rate is 19-20ltr/min. I'm not sure about the pressure, I've ordered something to test the pressure with. What's the threshold for when an unvented cylinder no longer becomes a viable option? I hadn't considered that a 'dog shower' in a domestic setting would be...

Evening all, I'm after some advice/guidance. I'm refurbing my 2 bed bungalow and will be extending it in the near future. I need to replace my heating system but I'd like to understand my options and requirements before I engage with an engineer. I've tried to do some research but I'm...

I took the skirting board off in my living room the other day to find a colony of woodlice behind it in one corner, which makes me think it might be damp. The other side of this wall is an external cupboard. I've attached a plan to explain, and the X is the corner I think is damp. The...

Thanks frutbunn! Reassuring to know that private drains under a concrete floor are allowed. I wasn't aware internal inspection chambers were allowed though so that's useful to know. I guess that gives me another option. I know it all comes down to what my BCO will allow, but can I ask why...

Can I run a soil pipe under a new concrete floor with a few 30 degree bends, without needing an inspection chamber? I want to build a 6m rear extension, but the main/public sewer is only 7m from the rear of my property (parallel to the rear wall). I know I need to notify my water provider if I...

Thanks for your replies. I had read a few of the other posts, and also watched a few videos. I have now removed the two columns in question up to two courses below the lintel, where they are sat on some slate tiles that are embedded into the wall (I'm not sure there are bearing any great load...

Hi everyone, I've started on removing the open fire in my 60s bungalow. The plan at the moment is to just open up the chimney breast. I may have a wood burner fitted at a later date, I don't know yet. I've removed the bricks up to the concrete lintel and I want to make the opening wider, but...
