Hi mogget - One option to consider is to have a combi, but add a hot water cylinder for filling the bath. Thanks for the comment. The cylinder and boiler would be linked up? Sounds complicated. Is it? I've hung and connected up a boiler before but that's the extent of my experience...

This sounds efficient. Could you please reccommend a particular machine that matches these criteria? Cheers, Josh

Hi - yes I did. I split the house into 2 and did separate calculations. Not dead accurate for the reasons you mention but still well below the 35 kW or mowe that most people seem to reccommend for a 4 bed house with conservatory. Does a bigger boiler give me a higher flow rate? ie if I...

Hi Richard.. Thanks for the reply. I'm having to dig out the back anyway to bring the level in line with the kitchen floor so I will take your advice and expose the drain and check it. Incidentally, what is the minimum depth of soil I must keep between the drain and the cons. concrete floor...

Hello - Is anyone able to advise me on the do and don'ts of changing my drainage runs please? I'd like to build a conservatory at the back of my house coming off the kitchen and adjoining the rear addition to one side and the garden wall to the other. The problem is my cast iron soil stack...
