@trojanhawrs No condensate drain as things stand, the current boiler isn't condensing (28 year old Worcester!)

Morning all. Thanks for your thoughts. Apologies for the delay replying; I had an eye procedure yesterday and couldn't see to type! @trojanhawrs it was well worth thinking about, and I might take structural / building control advice, but I think as you say it probably doesn't work. As I read...

@trojanhawrs Joists are notched to 25mm deep for pipes at 150mm and 300mm centres from the window wall, otherwise clean. They are fairly level; there's a messy bit around where the shower is shown in the second image, as there was a chimney breast there that was obviously taken out many years...

@trojanhawrs yes, supporting wall, though with a ground floor doorway directly below the first floor doorway. Joist ends built in to the wall. Should maybe also say the joists are 2.125" / 54mm thick.

@trojanhawrs good point - 8" (200mm) deep at 15" (380mm) centres

@RrogerD thanks. I think a shower over the bath has been rejected by the boss, though we will have another run through it - she really wants a walk in shower, and I'd like to make it happen if I can. I'll have a look at the shower waste run today, though I think going right round to the stack...

Hi all, Trying to work out the layout for a new bathroom and struggling a bit because of plumbing routes. Room is 2.75 metres x 3.3 metres, with the window and door in the short walls and the joists running longways, i.e. from door wall to window wall. Existing (which was lashed in) looks like...

@ianmcd thanks - that's really helpful and confirms it in my mind. Thanks for the prompt response.

Thanks @Paul Barker for the prompt reply, that's really helpful; I think the repairer experience is very relevant. And thanks @Stuckinarut for chipping in. We found the prospective installer through a colleague of my partner's, who she says would not use idiots. We need to build a relationship...

Hi all, Looking to replace a Worcester Bosch combi. We'd thought Worcester Bosch again, or Vaillant, but a local installer who was recommended to us, and seems sensible, has suggested an Alpha NX. The fitted price seems reasonable, but I wondered if anyone here had recent experience of Alpha...

Hi guys, thanks very much for your responses and apologies for the delay replying - things were really hectic at work before Christmas and I had little time to think about anything else, so we just nursed the boiler on. I won't comment on how it's going so as not to tempt fate! Am looking at...

Morning All, Could I ask your advice about problems with a Worcester Bosch 280 RSF, GC 47 311 11? Initial symptoms were that the domestic hot water was taking a long time to get hot, the top half of the radiator nearest the boiler stayed cold, and the boiler had partly lost pressure a couple...
