Hi guys,

Just moved into a house with a 3rd bedroom being a loft conversion on the top floor.

I currently have F&E system consisting of:

Boiler - Ground floor.

Heating/Hot water tank on 1st floor along with main bathroom.

Cold Water tank / Central Heating expansion on top floor.

There’s a loft above the bedroom on the top floor and I’m thinking of moving a cold water tank into the loft and making a bathroom for the top bedroom in place where the cold water tank is now.

I’ve extended the loft opening, so there’s a 53cm clearance now for the coffin type water tank to get through.

I am aware that water tank will require wall support, so there will be a wall directly below the water tank in the loft.

Will there be enough pressure for the top bathroom?

What are the constraints and rough cost involved in doing so?
 
have you considered converting to mains water supply only including an unvented hot water cylinder,it will work as long as any other remedial work is carried out.

I haven't actually. What remedial work is needed?
