Folks good morning,
I'm after a bit of advice on TOTALLY re-plumbing (at the same time as totally rewiring the house) my house including central heating. I would be grateful on a few pointers/suggestions in the work i am planning to do.
We moved into our house about a year ago. The house was built in the 1930s. Currently we have an Ideal Mexico boiler about 20 years old – this lives under the stairs and does look it’s age! We have a thermostat upstairs and downstairs however the upstairs on is not very reliable. To be honest the whole system is not great. In the attic the tank is on stilts. We have once bath/shower and another shower – both pressure driven. At some point i would like to put a shower in the loft as well as heating for when we expand. The house has about 13 radiators
I would also like as part of the job to be undertaken...
Removal of water tank in loft ( in preparation of loft conversion one day)
Changing all the rads for new – removing existing plumbing.
Removal of a water tank in cupboard
Removal of old boiler
New location for new boiler/megaflow?
Water points to the loft for central heating/shower for if we expand.
Each radiator to have isolation valves – (may need to remove rads when we decorate - is this a bad idea?)
Dual Thermostat zones
Isolation valves for sinks/taps.
Replace onsite shower with bath/shower
Any pointers on what i should be looking out for in a builder and advise onto what central heating system i should go for. I would like to go for the higher quality bits out there. Would the new system be fitted with pushfit joints? If there is any modern day innovation that you would put into a new system what would that be?
I have a rough figure in my head of £5000/6000 to get the work done not sure if thats anywhere near the mark
I should be getting people in to quote in the following weeks (along with the electrics)
Thanks for taking the time to read!
