I know it's been a few weeks since I posted this, but bathroom work is about to get underway, and I have just been given permission to install an unvented cylinder. As my flat is in a grade II listed building, I expect that the cylinder will need to discharge to the soil stack. The cupboard...

Unfortunately, I'm almost certain that I won't be permitted to install an unvented cylinder. The building is owned by an association and is grade 2 listed. Doing a simple check on the cold water mains pressure yesterday evening, a 1 litre container was filled in 2.8 seconds. Severn Trent...
