Are you saying that even at a flow rate of 16L/Min on a combi-boiler I still won't be able to run 2 decent showers simultaneously ? Any way of having a hot water storage tank with a Combi ?

We are just planing an extension to our house, above and behind the garage which is attached. The extension is approx 2.9m wide and 9m long. I would like to continue the existing roof line accross to make it more pleasing on the eye. Do we have to get W-Fink trusses or can we get a builder...

Does it have to be inspected and tested ? Would the Pro not have to carry out some inspections and tests after fitting a new board ?

We have to gain Building Regulations approval for the extension anyway so they will be visiting on a regular basis, they may as well inspect the electrical work as well.

Having done a fair bit of searching and reading on the Part P regulations in various posts on this site, I would just like to confirm a few things. We have just submitted plans to our local planning office for a extension to our house above and behind our garage. I plan on managing contractors...

Is that because something is worn, i.e now 15 years old and due for replacement ? I am also getting a small leak from the overflow outside and also from the fitting where the overflow pipe enters the bottom of the toilet. It's a Armitage Shanks toilet if that makes any difference. A US...

Recently our upstairs toilet makes a very loud noise about 5-10 seconds after flushing. It shounds just like a large ship's fog-horn sort of a large paaarppppp. It is very loud throughout the house and means we can't flush it when the kids are asleep. Any suggestions ?
