D_Hailsham, You're pretty much spot on. I think a combi will be fine. It was in the last house. I'll definitely try the bucket approach too. Simple, and indicative of my water pressure and flow. Really hoping for a decent shower, after having the useless shower since we moved in...

We're looking to put our new combi boiler and washing machine in the cellar, but need a way of draining the condensate and washing machine waste water. I can find these two separate products, but is there an all-in-one solution anyone could recommend? Boiler condensate...

Great. Thanks. I'll make sure he does :-)

We have very little space upstairs, so unless the pressure/flow rate is completely disastrous, I think we're really after a combi boiler. From what I can see I think we have very good water pressure. The taps in the kitchen seem to blast water out of the sink if turned on too much. Is there...

Fantastic news. Thanks a lot. Girlfriend will be very pleased. Until about October, when it starts to get cold and I still haven't been arsed to fit any radiators.

We're living in our house, while renovating it. We're looking at getting our system boiler replaced with a combi boiler. Renovations include removing the airing cupboard, and refitting all the current central heating system, which might take me a while. It'd make my life a lot easier if I...

... how are there ANY cables in a house with solid walls that don't have RCDs? My old house didn't have an RCD protecting the lighting circuits, which I think is relatively usual, but I don't know where the cables would be if they weren't in the walls. (I don't actually know where they went)...

Yeah, good plan. That's what I did in the end. I attached the rear of the plate and the sides. The front is not attached to the chimney breast, but I've rivited a piece of angle iron across the front, and it's surprisingly rigid. It's not going anywhere :D...

Yup. Pretty standard stuff. Register plate for a woodburning stove. The plate is a ~1-2mm plate. I think I'm going to give up on the brackets, cut the register plate into a sort-of cross, then fold the arms of the cross down and fasten those to the sides of the chimney, which, as the chimney...

I was wondering about this before it arrived, but deep down inside I was hoping that when it arrived it would come with some magical and obvious solution. However, it didn't: How do people fix register plates in place in a (pretty standard looking) ~25cm deep chimney, if even a small...

Cheers for your replies. I actually hadn't realised the vent had to be 'permanent'. We do have one, but it's louvred at the moment. Easy fix. Thanks. I've read through part J, but there is a lot of information there that isn't relevant and sometimes it's hard to filter it out, so I was...

Above 5kW, it seems that you're required to have a vent in the room. Are there any more regulations that specifically cover stoves above 5kW? I'm talking about something around 6kW, e.g. http://www.stovesonline.co.uk/wood_burning_stoves/Westfire-23-wood-stove.html rather than something...
