    How much energy does a condensing boiler save? is it worth worrying about?

    My view lol condensing boilers ain’t worth nothing if the it’s not actually condensing. Although lack of servicing usually means an emergency call out to clean out a condense I’d still rather have a old heat only without a thermostat just set low on boiler stat all day

    Taps sound like toilet flushing

    If you ain’t touched nothing or had work done it’ll be the ballcocks in toilet or tank. If not you need a plumber as could be anything from a stone at the stopcock to a slightly leaking washing machine valve. trust me I’ve seen it all!

    Summerhouse pp

    Yes 2.5 within 2 meters of boundary. Do they generally allow you to apply for planning permission afterwards if someone has a problem with it. It’s being built properly and neatly.

    Taps sound like toilet flushing

    Have you got a combi or tanks in the loft? Either way go to the toilet and look at the inlet valve(ballcock) and tap it down so a little bit of water enters the toilet and see if it makes the noise. Just tap it so it opens and closes quickly

    Can someone please help explain this heating behaviour?

The one on the right coming down to the valve is from the boiler and the other 2 are one for heating one for...
