Thanks Tony. Think I will stick with my Domestic & General boiler cover at £11/month ;)

hooray!! Dear pototea Thank you for your enquiry. Following an earlier conversation with XXX, we can confirm that your original plan to install the Greenstar 440 Cdi in your loft conversion is fully accepted. As such we will therefore approve the standard 2 year manufacturer's warranty...

Thanks all. Given the amount of money I am spending on this, I really do not want to pay £4,500 to have a boiler installed in a location I do not want. I contacted Worcester myself this morning and they knew me as soon as I told them my name due to the number of phone calls my plumber palced...

Which one? My plumber informs me there is not enough clearance space for the Ecotec 937. Although this is the one my neighbour has in her loft.

Thanks for the quick replies. I will call Worcester myself tomorrow re-confirm that this is the case. Are there any other combi boilers which can be installed in a loft with no warranty issue providing all regulations are met? Bearing in mind my max ceiling height is 1.2m and it is a sloping...

Hi, my plumber started work this week on fitting a new Worcester 440Cdi in the storage area of my loft (sloping roof). I have had a dormer loft conversion, during which all floor joists were strengthened and specifically in the storage area where the boiler would be (which I had to pay extra...

I am having a new shower fitted and will be getting a rain shower, a hand rail and a thermostatic tap. I will be buying all three items seperately as I can't find a combination I like as a package. I like this style: http://www.heatandplumb.com/acatalog/Envy_Shower_Valves.html but will...

Thanks for that advice. Which one do you recommend for my system so I have one hot tap and one hot shower? Can it be run from the combi water supply? There won't be a water tank.

Fantastic, thank you

I will be having a new boiler (Worcester Greenstar Highflow 440) next month. Awhile ago I posted on here and someone mentioned that it is a good idea to have a cheap (£150ish) inline water heater fitted which allows one shower and one tap to have hot water in case the boiler fails. I asked...

Hi All, I need to buy some new flooring for my loft conversion (and eventually the same flooring for the whole house). I can't seem to make up my mind about the solid wood, engineered and bamboo flooring. Engineered and bamboo seems to be the same price, with solid wood about £10/m...

Thanks for that. Space in front is not a problem, it is the height. Access will be via a standard door via a normal staircase as the hatch and ladder will go when I get the loft converted.

Hello, Where can I find out more information on this Worcester 550CDi? Most important is the size for me as the 440 just about fits into the loft (the height is the issue for me, not the width).

Thanks all! You have been a wealth of information,

Does anyone know where I can find the technical manual of this boiler? I couldn't find it on the Worcester website. There are a few things I have read on this forum which I am a bit confused about so am hoping the manual (or someone here!) can clarify! 1) Their website states that the...

Thanks for the quick replies! I have already got two plumbers round for a quote. Neither of them have specified what the incoming pressure is in their quote so I will call tomorrow to ask. I assume it is them who need to provide this info?

Hello! I am getting a loft conversion done and need a new boiler as the existing one is barely enough to cover the existing house. I seem to be finding a lot of people who are against combi boilers (what my existing is) and I honestly don't know why. My house will have three bathrooms...

Ah, I was checking the pressure dial on the front of the boiler. Not sure about the pressure of the pipes. I had a safety check done last March & it was fine then. But quite possible it would have failed since. But would that lead to the symptoms I am currently experiencing, ie the water...

Thanks for the quick replies. Gas pressure is fine, the spindle is just above one. The boiler is situated in the next room to the bathroom on the same floor, about 4-5 metres away. As the water gets hot eventually and the problem does not exist when the CH is on, I would have thought...

I have a Potterton Performa 24 boiler. When the central heating is on, I get hot water almost instantly from my taps. When the central heating is not on, it takes 1 minute to get luke warm and a good 6-7 minutes to get as hot as I like it for my shower. Some internet diagnosis tells me the...
