Hi all.
I'm in a 3 bed terraced and need to replace my boiler and change the radiators. I have 3 radiators downstairs (living room, dining room, and hallway) and 4 upstairs (3 bedrooms and towel rail in the bathroom). I've been reccomended a plumber who has quoted me £3,100 to replace the whole system (all new pipes and boiler - an Ideal Logic+ - ultraslim so it can fit into a kitchen wall unit). Wondered if you guys might be able to help me out with a couple of questions I had...
Because I want to try and put the boiler in the wall unit (300mm) I am obviously limited with the choice of boiler. Has anyone had any experiences, good or bad, with the Ideal Logic+?
The plumber wants to use plastic pipes. I've read good things and bad things about plastic pipes. Any views?
He isn't going to fit the radiators. He is just going to run the pipe into the middle of the room, cap it off, and I will fit the radiators when the rooms are decorated. I suspect this is to keep the price of his quote down. He said it is very simple to fit the radiators because the fittings for the plastic pipe are very easy to deal with. Is this right?
Any help / views are greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Chris
