thanks, ill check with the water board when they fit it

Great idea but if im only using the tank for the bathroom shower for example ( the combi powering the ensuite) i can surely do with a smaller tank?

Hi all Im trying to get some prices for a new sewer connection and some companies are boviously trying to rip me off thinking i dont know any better and giving me a price thats nearly twice as much as other companies. So has anyone here used a firm they can recommend? its for a new build in...
