Just further to Woody's comments, you will need to consider the Party Wall Etc Act when building adjacent to your neighbours house, specifically with relation to adjacent excavations as your new foundations will be within the prescribed distance. To make sure you're on the right side of the law...

Thanks for the replies again, apart from the t*t who decided to vent his spleen at someone else - not helpful. Keeping it where it is is a possibility but: * The bathroom and kitchen are at the back of the house (the cellar is only under the front and not the back half) and the very long run...

Pah! Not all of Cheshire is all twin-set-and-pearls and leafy bathrooms. Just a little two bed terrace! Out of interest, how complicated (for the fitter not me)/costly/intrusive is a loft install on a new gas boiler? Mulling it over today, this would provide a significantly easier route for...

Another point if I may. I've noticed that regular systems seem to be preferred for low water pressure areas. Our water pressure isn't great but is there a classification of 'low' water pressure. Is this based on flow rate or pressure? Any way of testing?

Tony Thanks. Can you point me in the direction of the guidance on siting (or not) boilers in bathrooms and requirements for boxing in? didn't realise that this was an issue? Is it to do with the electrics in the boiler or something else? To try and explain the siting, we have installed a...

Again, thanks. Unfortunately lowering the ground around isn't practical as this would take out a good chunk of the perimeter path around the house. We originally looked at keeping the boiler in the same place but have no route out for condensate. We have a VERY convaluted route to the...

Cheers for the quick response. Not the most technically minded when it comes to gas (us surveyors never are!) so not sure, but this is the closest thing I can find that looks like it. The one we have is older (obviously) and probably aluminium or galv. steel...

All Any help much appreciated. Our gas boiler is located in the cellar of the house, the only problem with this being that externally the flue is only about 2 inches off the ground level. The boiler is probably about 15 years old (best guess!) and I presume this was okay at the time but...

No, the combi has been in the house for at least ten years if not longer. We only moved in two years ago and when we fitted out the bathroom replaced an electric shower with a new one.

We currently have a combi boiler but due to very poor water pressure installed an electric shower. We still have problems at 'peak' times and the shower squeals. On the assumption that the water temperature I can get at my bathroom sink could be matched by a mixer shower, can anyone...
