    House Overhaul

    Thanks for the info so far. On the combi front..there are 4 of us (2 Adults and 2 kids). Combi appealed because of the lack of tanks, etc and not having to warm a cylinder full of water when I dont need it all. On a side, what are better built kitchens...MFI or B&Q? MOBEN rang me and want...
