    Single pipe system

    If Thecsystem heats your home why bother changing it?? There is specific TRVs for single pipe systems, ensure you have them, standard TRVs will not work & the flow through them is very limited. HTH

    Good new toilet?

    What 'greenwash' this evo-friendly thing is. All water in the world goes on a cycle, the saving in limiting the water usage is it saves the Water/Sewage companies treating 1000 of gallons of water unessarily. It'll have little or no effect on the very limited global warming that is happening if...

    Checking gas supply capacity

    It think it would be more helpful if you provided more details rather than being abusive to one of the highly respected members here. You clearly have gone in to some detail of the gas supply, but failed to divulge the obvious: like size of the building, rough date of construction & type of...

    Good new toilet?

    Villiroy Boch would always be the best choice if your budget is extensive. Their porcelain is anti-skid marks & a lovely finish. Mostly manufactured in Italy & sold by the Germans. The B&Q etc stuff is generally poorly cast & the glazing as rough as a badgers bum. Look at that rubbish with a...

    Unfortunately while £40/hour is reasonable rate for a skilled Plumbers in most areas. Around here any chancer will swop a bathroom suite for £35 all in. The Plumbing/heating trade is a mess. Successive governments have paid for & support cowboy courses in Plumbing & electrical trades. With the...

    Good new toilet?

    Like Dan I did our shower room a couple of years ago, again like Dan I fitted a wall hung WC. But I favour Dermit McDee frames & always Roca sanitary ware. For bog standard stuff, avoid the Wicks/B&Qs of this world. Most is cheap rubbish. Also a lot of High Street/online retailers sell...

    Baffled by my Under Floor Heating

    First we'd need to establish its actually wet underfloor heating you have Joe. There should be a manifold like this somewhere in the property: http://www.theunderfloorsuperstore.co.uk/underfloor-heating-manifolds-16-c.asp

    Would you still have a tank in the loft if given the option?

    5 Bathrooms??!!! The OP did not share that with the rest of us!! Perhaps he's keeping that information for the older members amongst us, that are stuck in the Dark Ages?? [/i]

    Inhibitor and/or other products?

    Sentinal expect every system to be checked annually & additional X100 added. This is far from enkeeping with attitude & practice of our trade, which at most would add 'some' inhibitor after installation & monitor the system water after some years or add some additional inhibitor if & when...

    Would you still have a tank in the loft if given the option?

    Given the higher water pressure for showers etc I don't think there's much debate. Certainly with an unvented cylinder there's more 'knobs,bells & whistles', therefore there's a high maintainace cost, but I think that outweighs the disadvantages of low pressure systems & the potential problems...

    What is "head" and what isn't "head"

    This reminds me of a new home I worked on years ago. It was a very rural location with a Private water supply. The Architect for whom the house was being built, was from the 'Plumbing is easy' brigade. He'd buried about 2 Miles of 25mm MDPE pipe from the elevated 60M high water tank to his...
