Hi,
I live on the top floor of a block of 4 flats. We have seeking ownership of the loft above our flat but it contains water tanks that feed the hot water systems of the flats below.
All the flats cold water supplies, and the tanks in the loft are fed by one mains supply.
In order to remove the tanks from the loft (so that we can own it) we need to have separate mains supplies installed into each flat. I have spoken to Thames Water and process for getting new mains supplies at the boundary is simple, as is routing them to the building. The problem I have is that i need to get the new supplies going into each individual flat and doing it "internally" is going to be very difficult. My question is, can the mains supplies run up the outside wall of the building and be routed into each flat through a hole that would be created in the wall. I am being given conflicting advice by plumbers.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
David
