I will take a look at the intergas website too though - cheers for the signposting.

Thanks. I must say I’m coming round to the idea of a floorstanding high flow boiler - seems to be a good compromise all round for my needs. I believe it’s flowrate is rated higher than what my mains will be, but the installer is selling the idea that it has an inbuilt cylinder which allows hot...

Thanks Muggles, very much appreciated. Nobody really did any form of proper test. Couple guys turned the tap on/off. I’ve since done my own test - get about 1 litre in 3.6-4 secs so mains at roughly 15-16 litres/min. This is from the downstairs bathroom tap. In terms of outlets, I have a main...

Hi, So I have a 33 year old gravity fed system powered by a floorstanding ideal Mexico. 4 bed detached, 14 radiators. Good enough mains pressure. Decided to upgrade. Had some professionals round and got very different advice from each which is leaving me mega confused, not to mention the...

Don’t know! What’s one of those? Just something to screw in that I can either connect a garden hose or run a short length of plastic or copper pipe to discharge to the main drain.

Hi, Could someone please send me a link to a male fitting (Screwfix, Toolstation, wickes - I’ve looked but couldn’t find anything) which will screw into this ball valve please. It seems to be around 32mm internal diameter. Looking for something which will end up connecting to a hose pipe or bit...

Thanks Cross Thread. Can Thompson’s be used with limestone? Do you have a pic of the product or a link to a webpage?

Hi all, what’s the best black limestone paving sealer and colour enhancer to use?

I don’t think that’s too important. 5 of us in the house (3x kids). We either take showers in turn but with constant supply of hot water, or we have capability to run two showers at once but run out of hot water quickly! Probably better option would be to organise ourselves so that we didnt all...

We have a detached 4-bed. 1x bath with over shower. 1x en-suite with shower.

Thanks for all the replies everyone. Much to think about. In summary, looks like I need to decide between: Stick with gravity fed replacement and be able to have 2 showers at same time, but have to upgrade to pumped system and all new controls at a cost of just under £1000 vs.... save...

Thanks. Is there a benefit to changing the cylinder too? I (probably wrongly) assumed it’s just a vessel containing hot water so does it really matter if it is 1-year or 50-years old? Do modern cylinders do things differently or bring new advantages? Also, is it the case that combi with...

Thanks. What benefit do I get from replacing the cylinder? I (probably wrongly) assumed it’s just a vessel holding hot water so wether it’s 1-year or 50-years old it doesn’t matter? Do modern cylinders do things differently? Also, is a combi with a hot water cylinder the ideal solution - ie...

Hi, looking to replace 30 year old boiler (standard gravity fed system). I have just learned that replacing like-for-like will require an upgrade to a pumped system to comply with new regulations so I can control heating and hot water separately. From the quotes I have, this upgrade makes the...

Thanks foxhole, unfortunately I don’t have a wired keyboard. Is there anyway to connect a laptop and use the keyboard from that?

Excellent analysis - thank you Can any Worcester Bosch fans out there offer an alternative analysis?

Hi, what should I be looking at for the cost of replacement driveway. (Existing tarmac drive is solid but unsightly). I’ve had various quotes: £2000 - tarmac replacement (lift existing base myself) £3000 - tarmac replacement £3750 - resin £4900 - resin Drive is 8m x 6m Thanks

A few people have now mentioned intergas......what makes these boilers so good?

Thanks! Wish I could try that but I have one of these wireless keyboards and batteries dead. Replaced them but keyboard is now not connected to computer. Can’t connect as the computer won’t turn on, so can’t try the key combination! Not sure a connected keyboard would work either as I just...

Most of neighbours have just replaced like-for-like with a gravity fed system, but I’m in a very residential area and no particular issue with water pressure, but will take your advice and ask the guys who quote. Assuming both route work, do you have a particular preference - combi vs gravity...
