Its 13.8 metres squared. So accordingly to what you are saying I will be paying too much? I thought 22k was a good price. Oh well. Builder is not booked. But I need to confrim him this week otherwise will miss time slot. Architect cost me £800. Used him as he was the cheapest in my...

No it is not listed or in a conservation area. I need to get work started soon as and don't want to wait for 8 weeks to get the ok. When I can start now under permitted rules with another architect who will be on board as the present architect is not.(well...only with this box frame!!ahhhh)

I have taken all the advice I have received from this forum and doubled my budget for a boiler and will not go with a ferroli from Wickes. My options are: 1)Worcester 37 cdi 2)Baxi Duo - tec combi 33 HE 3)Valliant 837eco tec plus Advice welcomed. Many Thanks

ok so if i can stretch to £800 would that make a great difference in boiler quality?
