i thought that - I like the idea of some other makes which carry longer warranties, but to be fair, they don't mean all that much these days. the 105e meets all my needs - pleaty of heating capacity for my house, and indeed more than enough supply of hot water. Uses a jig ( ideal for...

saving cash is important, but making a neat job of it is more important. with oak skirtings/doors etc, i'd rather take my time, and be happy with the job at the end of it. As for the flue - i'm correct in thinking that the flue can be retro fitted on most boilers ??? the location of the...

Yeah, i've been looking all over : the pack i quoted about was from http://www.discountedheating.co.uk some good deals on discountedheating.com( same company?? one is .co.uk the other .com?) ...but i've heard bad things about the boilers they include in their packs. Vekora pro-combi...

its very hard for me to explain how i'm going to run the pipes, but there will be no pipes on show. downstairs rads are on ajoining walls, which happen to be on the wall behind the kitchen cabinets, so thats sorted. Upstairs the boiler is in the bathroom, the upstairs rads are all in easy...

yeah, Thankfully only 3 rads are going on cast walls - I'll be drilling the holes with the help of a friend....who happens to have a rather powerfull sds drill...and a petrol powered drill for cutting the flue hole.....It'll have to go through 8 inches of cast concrete, and 2 sets of...

I knew that there would be a number of people who would recommend NOT fitting my own boiler. i don't see any reason why not - I'm "technically" minded, and rarely call people in to do things. i've plumbed the rest of the house myself, some copper, some plastic, from the stopcock onwards...And...

Hi guys - looking for a few bits of info - i'll breifly explain I'll be installing my own system shortly - obviously with a corgi/gassafe checkover+gas hook up......Mainly because the quotes i've had are stupid, owing to owning a cast concrete house, but not wanting any pipes showing. I know...

Mainly through walls...there are some cavitys to be had.. one room can be done under the floor - but downstairs is a solid concrete floor.

complex to explain, but with some tom jiggery i can hide all the pipes. basically my bathroom backs onto 2 of the rooms - and the third will be backs onto one of those 2..... downstairs is fairly easy - i honestly thing there is more work in running pipes here than anything else - and i'd...

to be fair, I'd rather spend the time doing the little bits properly... i bet they would change the price if they saw the house....cast concrete all round(including internals), only one 8 inch service tube from downstairs to upstairs......I don't want a single pipe running round skirting or...

nobody has even answered my orig. post. WB boilers decent??? that package a decent price ??

start bidding....... ok, it was my second post where i mentioned i wasnt doing the gas....my bad. It's going in a cupboard ( big ) - ive checked all the relevent regulations as to combi in an enclosed space - and ive got loads of room - same with the flue in terms of location regards...

Friend of a friend and all that...... at least someone on the forum isnt tearing me to peices !!!!

RGI is taking £300.

I live in central Scotland - had more than one quote, average quote £4,500. I've heard of BG Installs, all Hep. Thanks!

Jesus F**K - nothing like having a go at the newbie. I'll be fixing the boiler to the wall - its a concrete wall, the boiler in question comes with a jig...... i WON'T be doing the gas - I'll be paying for that service ! Flooze - Your a mile off - i clearly stated in the first post that i...

copper to plastic at the boiler.......i know it can't run right to the boiler, what i mean is the majority of the system is going to be plastic barrier pipe. I won't be plumbing the gas.....only the water to and from the boiler, and actaully putting the boiler on the wall - Why exactly is...

right, Full install from scratch - smallish 3 bedroom house, single bathroom. Cast concrete with insulation Looking at 6 rads+1 for constant flow. Now, after a quote of £4.5k i looked into DIY.....thats the route im taking. Ive been looking at boilers, and specifically which make i...
