I have currently boarded out the loft and now all i need to do is add some lighting. Coincidentally i just found 3 BC22 LED light bulbs which i forgot i had, i was wondering if it is possible to install 3 of these Batten LampHolders into the top joist of the roof. The roof is...

yes the prices are all in (goods and labour) are they cheap? im in the north of england so not sure if that makes much difference? I looked up the price of the A325C and thats about £1000, so does £700ish for fitting seem cheap?

We currently have a system boiler (tank in loft + cylinder in airing cupboard) which is about 15 years old so it is due to be replaced as it is inefficient. Was thinking if we should change to a combi while we are at it but i am not too bothered about having the extra space, the only benefit...

Hi guys, went though abit of hassle last time in applying for the green deal home improvement fund, basically i didnt end up getting any funding.(scheme was pulled a day after i got my green deal assessment carried out) Just been told that the scheme is going to be reopen with new funding in...

Hi Tony, I can see what you mean but i think i wanted to explain it more as in thats is the 'most' amount of hot water i could possibly have within like a 24 hour period. As in if we use any hot water throughout the day (washing up, washing hands, cooking) then basically there is only 1/3 or...

Yeah you know what, i haven't actually thought about swapping it for another boiler of the same type to be honest. Only reason why is because i was sold on the combi idea because at the moment our water pressure is non-existant and the amount of hot water we actually get is fairly low...

Having had people come around to quote for a new boiler recently some have said it is best to keep in the kitchen and some have said it is best to move into the current cylinder cupboard (upstairs, middle of house) As far as i know the downsides to having a combi into the kitchen is that our...

hi guys sorry i should've put the picture up earlier to make things more simple. yeah he didnt mention about if another outlet was using water then it would affect the shower, he said that as soon as the combi was installed then there could be this issue (switching between hot and cold...

Hi guys, posted quite a few topics recently as i am in the process of getting a new boiler installed and fitted. Had the guy come around to do the survey today and he mentioned that if i was to move to a combi system from a conventional system then i could possibly have an issue with my...

Ah right, i see what you mean. Oh i forgot to mention that another issue i actually have is the amount of hot water available, its basically 2/3 of a bathtub of hot water max a day. e.g. if someone did the washing up at 4pm using hot water, even if you waited till 5pm to use the hot water...

Just had a loft ladder installed and looking to possibly DIY the insulation and boarding. i have no idea when it comes to which types of materials i need in order to board the loft, but i was wondering if my insulation will be 200mm above the rafters then will i need the stilts to be at least...

3 bed detached, 1 bath room, 1 en-suite shower (dont have bath + showers at the same time so not having hot water to multiple locations at same time isnt too much of an issue) Currently in the process of getting some quotes in for getting the boiler replaced and some are saying combi will be...

Hi dan, thanks for the advice, glad to know im not getting ripped off lol in terms of the vaillant or atag, would you be able to use any heat recovery system with those units or can you only use one which is made by the same manufacturer? also our water use isnt high but fairly average, so...

Hi Tony, The full cost of the quote which i have been given is £3600, but from that i also get a £1,000 discount from my local council. So technically all i have to pay is £2,600. But yes it would seem that without the discount it would be a £3600 job. For that i would be getting: -...

Ah right, yes i see what you mean. I'm basically in the greater Manchester area and the people that i have had to come and see the property said that there wouldn't be any need for any special work unless i wanted the boiler moved from the kitchen into the boiler room (middle of the house)...
