    Any combi boiler that can heat hot water and radiators at the same time?

    CH should be a closed loop, don't want to be mixing fresh water in to it all the time, and vice versa.

    Solar Inverters & Batteries

    Not clear if your question refers to either or both, but my inverter is on a gable wall in the loft. Battery, such as it is, is in the car.

    Raft foundation- no insulation - UFH?

    At least having a barely insulated slab sinking much of the output of your ASHP means you won't need to worry about it being oversized :LOL:

    What is a "suitable meter"?

    To be clear, the pattern is representative of the past few weeks even if the magnitude is not. I.e., it's not free in the middle of the day every day.

    What is a "suitable meter"?

    Solar generation peaks then and it's a weekend so demand is lower.

    What is a "suitable meter"?

    Have you tried? It's not that difficult and "everything" need not be done in the middle of the night. I am on Agile, which wouldn't exist without a smart meter. My average rate in a month has never exceeded the "cap", so I am saving money [15.5p for mid-March to mid-April, for example].

    Restoring Metal Patio Furniture

    If it's rusted in then there's probably nothing left to salvage but the glass top.

    Meter MPAN import and MPAN export numbers, how and when assigned?

    You've missed out of your post the "why", though! I had a smart meter fitted last year, then moved to Octopus, and they managed to give me an export MPAN [DNO is ENWL]. Although the panels were installed in 2022. More detail about MPANs than you could ever want, here...

    Lacquer for rough sawn wood

    I think you would struggle to get an even finish with a powered wire brush. The OP is likely to end up brushing out more than expected, giving a patchy finish.

    Oven Flex Too Short.

    I know it's a bit of a boring answer, but single extension socket?

    Externally vented cooker hood?

    You are never going to "fix" this without going to extreme lengths, like ducting all the way to a different wall ["round the houses", as it were]. The wind will always be able to out-blow your extractor hood. Because your exhaust is going to be diffused in a much larger volume of air I am not...

    Sig Energy Solar Installation

    It seems to be a widely-held belief that rice is particularly risky but bacillus cereus grows on wheat pasta just as well as rice. [5 days at room temperature? Come on! https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3232990/ ] And with that, the thread is well and truly off-topic!

    Fire pit on artificial grass

    You'd be better off cutting out a section of carpet and laying a patio just to sit your fire pit on. How big a radius you choose depends on how far you think burning embers will travel.

    foliage

    With W3W it is a feature that a subtly different code will give a drastically different location. The point of this is to make subtle transcription errors obvious.

    Off-peak tariff, does it really save money?

    That's not how it works. There are too many suppliers. The "gas boiler industry" [many of the companies involved are selling gas boilers and heat pumps] could set prices as high as it likes right now given how dominant a technology it is [but they don't]. The car industry could set their...

    Off-peak tariff, does it really save money?

    The thinking is that by that time [a decade or more hence] the prices will have come down a lot and expertise about these products will be more widespread. Additionally, the prices will magically come down once the grant support is withdrawn as well.
