I think the problem exists because the cold feed goes down from the storage tank to the foot of the cylinder, and the hot feed (and vent) both come back to the loft, the hot water being distributed from there. The plumber mentioned something about the length of the pipework being more effort...

Having a loft conversion done currently (by a professional company), and they've run into a problem today. As I don't want to pay £3.5k for a combi boiler they've moved the cold water storage tank to the eaves (lowering it about a metre in the process), and redone the pipework to the cylinder...

Just had a electrical inspection done and it's been noted that the lighting circuit in my house has no earth, so needs rewiring. I'm wondering if it's possible this can be accomplished more easily (ie, without wall chasing) by only replacing the ceiling wiring, and not the switch wiring...

Can't see an exact model number on the boiler anywhere (it was fitted before we moved in), but the cover mentions its an Ideal Classic FF, and the manual is dated 1999, so I'm guessing it isn't any older than that.

No, it's an all-in-one thermostatic power shower, a Mira Event XS. It can only be run from normal pressure hot and cold water. If we went with the combi we'd have to bin that, and buy a thermostatic mixer bar. I'm just not sure that the £2600 we've been quoted to install the combi ~ a high...

Are you suggesting intalling a separate electric water heater for the sink and shower in the loft space? Wouldn't a negative-head pump be a better solution, or are there major downsides?

We're due to have a loft conversion shortly and the builder recommended a combi boiler because it would both remove the tanks from the loft, and facilitate the installation of the loft radiator(s) and shower. However, as our standard pumped system isn't too old (perhaps 7 years), and we have...
