Thanks for all your help, the flue boiler looks great and found one on ebay for £200, which would be perfect. However, and I mean a big however. The father in law has decided that what he is doing isn't a boiler!!!! and just a tank, so he doesn't need bigger pipes or follow any regulations...

He intends using the cylinder in the loft to supply his new tank on top of the stove, the outlet from the new tank to go straight to a tap in the kitchen. He did originally intend to heat some radiators up as well but changed his mind now. I will point out to him where it says 28mm pipes. He is...

Thanks for that, mostly what I was after. I've been chatting to him on the phone to get out of him what he intends doing. Basically when he gets a new boiler he intends using the old system, The outlet from the old electric cylinder in his loft, which is close to above his stove, is going to...

Like many of us DIYers we do it to save money. He doesn't want to buy a new stove when he already has one. It took us several years to convince him to accept a free boiler and heating system, he still changes his mind daily, as he the gas is not free.

I think it's a Hunter, I believe he first contacted either them or some company that made a tank for them, but he didn't like their advise, the tank they did suggest was the wrong shape size and price, and he says he can get one made cheaper and better.

OK, thanks, but will 15mm work? Please bear in mind limited plumbing experience, mine is basic DIY experience, his came from being a plumbers assistant when a teen and DIYer since. To get him to change I change I would need to prove 15mm is no good. Won't hel have to put a lot of fuel in as it...

Sorry, I never saw your post. Yes I posted on here hoping for advise about the boiler. But didn't want peeps to think it was me trying to get advise on how to do it myself so thought some background was needed. Sounds like I'm not alone with problematic parents. So far it does seem that what he...

His illness is that his brain won't slow down, lol, just hard for us to keep up. He reckons that 8 KW it makes no difference, as its more about the amount of fuel you put in. I must admit I wondered about this myself that's why I mentioned it, I don't know whether it would work, or if it did...

Hi, sorry I did not expand on the mental health problems as I was wanting advise on the boiler and whether it makes economical sense and if there are any potential dangers as he is renown for taking shortcuts. An example is his back garden and structures he has erected, deciding he needs...

Ok, bear with me this might be a strange one. I have a father-in-law with mental health problems, part of his illness is that he thinks he’s always right but unable to think things through properly. He’s in his late 70s but won’t admit he should take it easy. He struggles to understand verbal...
