Yes, could well be actually. What would be the implications?

That's a good question; I will have to investigate.

To increase counter space in my kitchen, I've had the idea of removing the back door shown in the photo and bricking up to the level of the window next to it. Then remove both door and window and replace with one big window. I still would have patio doors for access/escape from back of house...

That's great. Thank you.

My new combi boiler will be going in the kitchen. Is it OK to wire the boiler into the kitchen circuit, or does it need it's own circuit?

Cheers Namsag, no I won't/don't. Oh and I wish it were rocket science, as that's a subject ironically I do have experience in lol :lol:

TBH Roguetrader did:

Valid point- I just simply have never come across one before. I was scared I had distrubed something to do with the staircase. I can add wall tie my knowledge now. Everything has been brand new to me and a learning curve since buying this place; no prior experience other than automotive...

Yes. There is only one 1m extension in there. This join is easily accessible with the under-stairs cupboard.

For the benefit of Mr Cynical I have already successfully: Calculated the BTU requirements of each room, Fitted all central heating pipework Fitted all rads and TRVs and pressure tested the system. And all this in a house which had no prior central heating and has concrete floors which...
