Hello, I'm looking for a cast-iron cooker (gas) but not sure which one to buy. Would appreciate all the advice. According to the article below (see link below), not every cast iron range cooker works in the same way, some are stored heat cookers (atmospheric burner), others are Forced draught...

Dan, Well, I thought you had to buy a 'sealed' boiler if you wanted an unvented cylinder. I didn’t realise that an OV boiler with an F & E tank could be used. OK maybe not ‘intermediate’ but I can’t think of a good word. :)

Thanks guys for all the replies. No, I can't think of a reason why an unvented cylinder would not fit the bill. It's just that I don't have any experience with these. I like the look of the following diagram (from the Building Regs), which is sort of an intermediate system (unvented DHW and...

None actually. My house (recent purchase) is currently undergoing a major refurbishment.

Yes, I would like hot water pretty much instantly available at the taps. I was thinking a schematic something like in the attached diagram below. Can the circulation run in convection? Great! Which brands have that? Merry Christmas.

The only thing I don't like about combi's is latency. It takes about a minute for the hot water to arrive and another half-a-minute for the temperature to stabilize. This is the reason why I've been thinking about other types like conventional open-vented or thermal stores with PHE but from...

I don't know. Maybe screws?

OK, thanks.

No. A fluorescent light used to be there.

Here is a photo I've taken today: The board seems to be brown on the outside and white inside.

Might as well while the house is undergoing a major refurbishment. Anyway, I wouldn't want to live in a house with asbestos.

OK thanks. Sorry for not saying earlier but I'm not sure if the boarding is made from plaster. I think it might be some sort of fibre cement, I'll double check.

I recently purchased an old property (built in circa 1880). The original ceiling of lath & lime plaster is still there in all rooms but unfortunately they've been overboarded by white plasterboard. I understand that gypsum is pink, so does white plasterboard mean asbestos? I have a strange...

You mean DTC (Distribution tempering control) like this one? http://www.altecnic.co.uk/plumbing-heating/thermostatic-mixing-valves/3b/ :)

Hey echoes, Would an thermostatic mixing valve be something like this? https://www.screwfix.com/p/pegler-p402-tmv-22mm/60528?tc=BB9&ds_rl=1249799&ds_rl=1245250&ds_rl=1249481&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI9ZbbhaeF2AIVhZztCh2YuQ4gEAYYBCABEgLOwvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds&dclid=CLPZxK-ohdgCFVGeGwodlB0PQA

Interesting. And what now?

Thanks. I'll bear that in mind. However, there's probably no point in changing an old boiler for a new one. Here is a good article: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/lifestyle/interiors/renovating/9791140/Do-I-need-to-install-a-new-boiler.html
