If not a combi then I take it a system boiler which means tanks?

Bungalow- Getting quotes for all new CH. Got it down to W 32CDi or Baxi Eco Blue due to smaller physical size. As past posts have said Pump over run can be noisy (Last place had Ideal logic, never again). So am I right in thinking put up with pump overrun or have tanks in loft?

Thanks

Sorry my question can be read both ways. What I meant was having walls skimmed but changing metal boxes first so should i leave them flush or protude by? to allow for skim - thanks

How far out should metal box protrude when just skiming on solid walls. 2 -3 mm or flush with original wall. Thanks

None

Cut out + meter same 500mm but under CU . Recently had new meter (with built in isolator) which is now less than 500mm as we had it put to side of cut out. Agree not ideal in kitchen unit but nowhere else for it go.

We posted same time thanks for 150mm

I know what you say but when bungalow was built (60's) there is only 500mm centre to centre between them although that is horizontal. Most have them in same unit but a tall one with circa 750mm from top to bottom of other.

Planning kitchen: how close can Consumer Unit be to Gas Meter. Preferably both in same 500 base unit. Thanks

Shower: oh I see I thought bar 'x'' meant minium it must have not the most it could take? Have I got that rIght?

4b) not a power shower Leafing through Wickes it's looking like thermo mixer with bar 0.3 min 0.5 max. Mains pressure seems ok. Thanks

1) Thanks 2) probably our fault as new we might move so went for cheaper quote - never have Ideal boiler again 3) was having it done last year so had Worcester and Valiant guys in both said no when I requested all copper as both used plastic in loft. 4) A) 5 - 7 year free Gaurantee: don't...

Small circa 80 sq mtrs 3 bed semi bungalow hard floors. Want new boiler new rads new pipework non buried. Going in kitchen so prefer small to fit in wall unit. No bath. 1) Suggestions on which make? 2) we had noisy TRV on last place on back to back rad. Took it off in the end so is back to...

one builder wanted to replace with same style but more ways. Then when other quote mentioned split load i started to wonder if you must have split load hence my question

I did say "Ideally we want CU fixed up so we can carry on in what is a seperate room but it might be a lot more cost effective to have it all done in one go after getting my own quotes in rather than builder's mates Good luck with your quotes Read more...

Incorrect: i asked if 350 was being mean. The issue we have is getting some kind of consistanty in various trades. The same job quote can vary easily by 50% . So is the bottom end too cheap as most often you get what you pay for or is the top end a rip off?

It's only for short time as old boiler in way of building work then have new boiler rads pipes - that wil be fun sorting out

Hi sorry for confusion. My guess estimate: Materials: C/U + tails + E bond to both G/W less than 2 mtrs away + odds = circa £ 100 plus 250 labour =£350. £600 is for CU 10 way. Once decided what sockets etc go where will be further costs - cable runs protection devices etc. Ideally we want CU...

Thanks
