Thanks Noseall, Is there a way that I could tell if the wall is supporting or not? There is no wall above it upstairs and it runs in line with the joists. The floor height should not be a problem as I want to put back in a 900mm high wall in its place so that worktop can go over the top...

Hi A quick question is it worth changing from Y plan to S plan system while having the boiler and hot cylinder replaced, is it a big job?

Thanks for the advice. I just would like to know what is more important, how well the boiler is installed or the make. I have had a plumber highly recommended by friends, however he will only install certain boilers and has recommended a Potterton Promax SL. The other plumber will fit what I...

Thanks Tony, My thoughts were to stick with just replacing the boiler and tank. I was also told that TRVs need to be fitted to the bedroom radiator to bring the system up to spec. However it was recommended that the kitchen and utility room radiators have one fitted as these rooms don’t need...
