I'm not vat registered. The plumber was charging vat on top of everything, although maybe I'm not thinking the vat calculation through properly as presumably he'd get ex vat from his supplier. Basically it's £3500 for 10 radiators, and a Worcester bosch 30kw boiler... Maybe I should save the...

Thanks for the additional info @Madrab Ta @oldbutnotdead - I got a quote off a plumber and asked if I could buy boiler/radiators myself as I didn't want to pay VAT on top but they unfortunately didn't want to do that. While I would have preferred them to do it by the time I had radiators, a...

Sorry for lack of my explanation. It's the threaded join of the trv that goes into the radiator. I have seen some people use ptfe on the olive - but jointing compound does the same thing right? Would you go for one over the other? Thanks again, hope that clears up what I meant!

OK, so replacing the olives doesn't look as hard as I thought! I saw the "compression" olives and thought I'd need some sort of special tool, but I assume the compression actually refers to the tightening of the nut?! So I've seen a few videos where PTFE tape is used on the bleed valves...

Hi all, I've been watching a number of videos on YouTube and was hoping I could attempt replacing radiators myself. The radiators themselves are single panel & imperial size. I was going to replace with similar sized metric and hope there's some wiggle in the pipe, or if not use an extension...

Not sure if it helps, but I can buy some of these style rads quite cheaply: https://soak.com/en-gb/radiators/horizontal-radiators-by-range/600x830mm-gloss-white-double-flat-panel-horizontal-radiator/RC221.html Maybe plumber folk have opinions on these... there's also some double walled...

Opened an can of intergas worms here! I'm not so much bothered about what brand of boiler I use... that will come later down the line... It's more about whether folk would go for combi & do a full refit or maybe opt for the system with lower pressure and use existing 1970s pipes? I think I'd...

Thanks for responses... the next question I'd like to ask about is radiators... I wondered what might be the best solution... I've put some ideas down, they all overshoot the room - but a couple of rooms have 2x radiators instead of 1x… does that matter? Bedroom (main) 4x4.4x2.3 = 4342 BTU...

Hi all, first post here and have tried to find some answers for my question but no joy. Moved into a house and needs some upgrading, including the boiler/radiators. Ideally I wanted a combi installed in the toilet downstairs to free space in the bathroom (our current system takes up about 1m sq...
