Thanks. What about the flow rate? What would be a realstic flow rate for a shower off a combi?

Hi, I'm just researching Vaillant boilers and struggling a bit with the specification.. Can anyone tell me the basic difference between the ecoTec Pro and Plus range? As far as I can tell, it's pretty much flow rate (not withstanding the various BTU output of each model). Which leads me to...

Why would you walk away if someone wants to supply their own boiler? What about someone doing their own research? This forum is full of people doing just that.... Also, as someone who is currently gathering estimates from tradesmen for all manner of jobs I need doing, I've had more than 3...

As title really.....can anyone recommend and dimmable spotlights suitable for a bathroom installation?

Yeh, that's pretty much the conclusion I'm coming to. One more general question (for now! :wink: ), I've spoken to few electricians already about the rewire and when I ask them if they will do things like plaster over the chasing they've done, they all seem to get a bit vague..... What's the...

Yes, I agree with all of that. I am not going to cut any corners and I want the house to be 100% for safe for me and the family. I'm just trying to learn what is likely to required and just to be a bit more informed rather than just signing a blank cheque and handing everything over.... Cheers.

As ever, thanks for all the very useful replies! You guys are saving me so much time with your help. It really is appreciated... To answer a couple of points.... I intially assumed, based on the switchgear, the fuse box and the general state of the property, that a full rewire would be...

Hi, I'm about to phone around a few sparkies to quote for a partial/full rewire on a house we're going ahead with. Should I expect them to carry out a PIR as part of the estimate process? If not, how much should I expect to pay for a periodic test? I'm in Leeds..... Thanks! EDIT: I've...

Why, are they museum pieces or packed with copper??

OK - my surveyor is telling me that the house we've just bought may not need a rewire but most definitely needs a new consumer unit and possibly some work doing by the electricity board on the main supply cable - or something along those lines... Based on the photo below, can anyone extrapolate...

It's all UPVC and we'll use lined curtains. I've never really understood radiators under windows, particularly in the days of draughty windows when all the heat would rise up and straight out.... Anyway, we digress..... Can anybody help with the original query?

The wife likes floor length curtains.....

Hi, We will be inviting local plumbers to quote for a complete re-work of our C/H system in a house we have just bought. There is currently a back boiler based system in place and radiators in every room. We'd most likely be moving the radiators around a bit to get them away from windows etc...

Hi, Admiring your work there jctilingservices. Can I ask, on the bottom photo, what did you use to build the case around the bath? Also, is there any facility to remove the panel in case of leaks etc?

A common misconception!!! More fibre will actually make the problem worse! :P

Thanks - I'll check on the one I've just put a deposit on! (Homebase..) Can you recommend a "decent" make?

Hi, I've been out all day around many bathroom showrooms trying to find a toilet we like Sounds silly, I know... I have a few reservations about modern toilets...namely the push button flush mechanism and the size of the exit pipe to the u-bend. I've done a bit of research this evening and...

You could always waste your time by telling people you don't want to waste your time though eh? :wink:
