Thanks @oldbutnotdead and @oldbuffer. At the moment I can't go and check the water as our family are in covid quarantine, so I'm trying to get as much done as possible remotely. As far as I remember when you turn on one shower the pressure drops significantly on the other one. Can I just clarify...

We have a house with two bathrooms. It has a combi boiler (WB Greenstar jr 24), everything is plumbed in and fitted already and we absolutely have nowhere to put a cylinder in the house. We lived in it as a family which was when it was all fitted, and as we never really used the two showers at...

That's great. It can be quite a long room and I can put the door in the middle with washbasin facing the toilet, one at either end, so its just the width of the toilet and moving around that's the issue at least. Yours looks fine and has a basin in there too!

I don't see ventilation being an issue as there would be 3 outside walls so easy to get a fan in there and a window. Its not really about adding value.Thanks for the link, though its not quite what I'm looking for. I'm more interested in finding out what sort of space is likely to be achieved...

Think we'd have to assume we can't remove outer skin as house has solid walls.

Our house is on the corner, with a road running along the side. We have an alleyway that is only 100cm wide down the side of the house (that measurement is right up to the boundary with the pavement). We don't need this space to access the garden as there is already a side gate at the end of the...

Actually, in a house with 5 young professionals sharing, I'd say the chance of the showers being used at the same time on a working morning would be pretty high tbh, which is what I'm trying to prepare for. I'm going to go up and test whether the current combi can cope with running two at once...

Thanks, but I really don't think I can expect tenants paying their rent to have how they shower dictated to them. Its really not my place to tell them to have shorter showers. I think we'll probably just have to forgo one ensuite and have one combi and one electric shower instead.

That's a great idea @OwainDIYer, thanks

Thanks @oldbutnotdead. Its a Worcester Bosch Greenstar Jr I think, about 10 years old. Not sure if this is old enough to replace but not new enough to be up to date either!

No work has started, but the house is already basically finished as it was our family home, we are just making a few changes to allow us to let it out as an HMO. So the plumbing was perfectly adequate for the way the house was previously used, and we never needed anything other than a combi, and...

Yes, Its an HMO. Billing will be included in the rent. Problem is that two of the three bathrooms are already fitted as they were there already, though they are both tiny so barely space for the bathroom fittings, never mind anything else, even if we did rip them out and start again. The new...

We're about to renovate our old house to rent it out. It will have three bathrooms when its finished. The house currently has a combi boiler, which I'm aware isn't great if two people want showers at the same time. This wasn't a problem for us living there but probably will be for tenants when...

Anyone?

We have a very large (1500mm wide) upvc sash window in our kitchen, and we're having problems with it leaking out from under the interior window cill when there is driving rain (which is quite often here as our house is quite exposed). The whole house had new windows replaced at the same time...

I have some liquid weather here already but it gives quite a purpley reddish tint which concerns me on a white background. do you think it’ll be ok? Also says only for porous substrates?

Thats a good idea, will try that tomorrow. Can always pressure wash it off again if necessary

I really just need a way to make it a little more dirty that will stick

I'll try and post a photo tomorrow to give some context, but no, I don't think that's an option. It's where the roof of a single storey extension meets the back wall of a three floor house, so it just extends from the edge in about a foot in on the side of the house, but only about a 1/3 of the...

That's a shame. Though probably I need something quicker anyway - house going on the market this week so I need it to change the colour immediately. Probably don't have time to wait for anything to grow unfortunately, but thanks for the suggestion.
