    Hi I have had 3 prices for a new heating and hot water system. Two of the heating engineers have quoted for a 300ltr Range Tribune, one for a 300ltr Megaflo. Can anyone offer advice on the benefits or otherwise of either brand as there is a cost differential? Thanks

    22mm or 15mm cold water feed to Megaflo?

    Hi I have had three heating engineers around to quote for a new boiler and megaflo system. Two have stated I need to put a 22mm feed to the megaflo, one has stated 15mm will be OK as the pressure is fine, but 22mm would be the ideal. Can anyone comment/advise as to whether I need to...

    Internal wall demolition, catnic, needles and stand props?

    Hi Looking to knock through an internal wall. The wall is single brick and extends upstairs but does not support any roof structure. I am looking to generate a 2m apeture and have been advised by my architect that a 2.4m catnic lintel will be sufficient to take the load. Can I simply...
