I'm on iPad right now and did the above When the box pops up it should have the text already in the box. Like this. Then just tap on that text to get a cursor and then tap again to get the slelct - select all tab. Choose select all. Then select all, then copy and your done. Just try again. If you duplicate post I'll just delete it for you

Top right hand corner of each post 'box' has a feint square. Next to that, to the left, is a ( hyperlink ) symbol thingamijig which you press once and a box pops up with the link details. Select, then select all, then copy. Tap the text box to get rid of the details and then go to the destination thread. Press paste and give it a couple of seconds and it'll pop in as a quote style link in all its glory. Like that. ?

BCO made it CRYSTAL clear to my customer that to get a temporary certificate of habitation the gas, electricity and EPC absolutely MUST be in place / complete / registered PRIOR to her moving in. He insisted on seeing the electrical certification and gas certification in person and was happy to wait for them to arrive electronically, but the EPC he wanted email confirmation of.

Still needs the major bits signed off .

You cannot move in without it. Electrics, fire & smoke and gas etc where applicable are all covered by it. ?

You can slow them down to as little as 5lpm iirc. Then 7, then 9 and so on. Like these Or inline external ones

Good luck and keep us updated. Pass our well wishes on.

The iboxes are as good as the showers. They come with a fitted 2-way bridge that connects cold in to outlet 1, and hot in to outlet 2 etc so you can fit the ibox, cap the remote outlets and pressure test, and then connect a bit of flexi to the outlets in order to fully flush the system before mounting the chosen control valve. Excellent bits of kit imo, and worth every penny.

@Barney12 Ive just fitted one of those. Nice bits of kit but remember there's no flow attenuation as the buttons give a simple 100% on / off . You can throttle down unruly shower handsets with flow restrictors, and will need doing afaic as the shower for hair wash ( in bath ) would be too lively without it. I think you can fit the restrictor into the wall outlet end of the shower / handset hose and just try different flow rates until your happy ?

The duct looks narrower than the socket so < 75mm, so shouldn't be the extractor vent imo. Ive put loads up like that, but not if recirculating. Fwiw I duct almost every one I do so they all get either hidden on top with a fused spur laying flat, or exactly as it is in that photo. If I want to not have to remove a full height chimney, to change the fuse / isolate, then I extend the supply cable and run it down to a plug or spur up high in the back of a base unit.

+1. Very strange indeed . I've never seen such a compromise, and I fail to see the thought behind not having the extra webs. They're not exactly gold plated so why ever would you ( they ) omit them ?

Chrome over brass is the way forward ?

For the difference I'd go Worcester. http://www.discountheating.com/cgi-bin/sh000001.pl?WD=ri 12&PN=Worcester-Greenstar-12-Ri-Conventional-Boiler.html#a5417 Just grinds my gears that it costs more than a good combi. .

Ok. It would be a 'heat only' boiler then and not a system boiler as I linked.

Baxi Duotech 28kw. Absolutely brilliant bit of kit for the money. Fit and forget. If you don't convert I think you'll be spending good money after bad TBH and the rest of the system will be on borrowed time too.

Can't really argue with this for the money TBH. And much as they used to be overpriced bags of ?, these newer ones are far better now. Most system boilers are around the £1k mark so maybe if you're not doing the full conversion ( which I think is not the best decision sorry ) it's better to spend a couple of hindered more on the better boiler. Is the existing system sealed and pressurised, with a pressure gauge and filling loop, or gravity aka open pipe with tanks in the attic ?

got to compare apples with apples ! that building is falling apart and rotten wherever you look

That looks like it needs a bit more than just repairing to me

Ok. If it's a rental and you want to 'economise' then go for an Ideal. For the money they're a great little boiler and we've done loads with zero comebacks, mostly budget private or landlords. ? Are you replacing a wall hung boiler or back boiler with firefront? Assuming the former.

You changing to a combi? It would be madness to keep the hot water via a copper cylinder. Unless it's already an uvc I'd go for a combi. Thoughts?

Buy a black one and bingo, solar heated coffee. ( or tea ). Dragons den ?

Two heads are better than one. I just thought I recalled that from a conversation with a builder when discussing a building not far from my house where the centre section of an entire 2-storey gable end dropped about 600mm due to the cowboy builders not supporting the knock through to a conservatory in accordance. Wish I took a photo tbh as the 2g upvc Windows had twisted in the openings and looked like they were holding the wall from dropping down altogether. I would not like to have been that guy when the phone rang.

It also wouldn't insulate anywhere near as well How much would it cost to get that lot bought, delivered, manhandled into place and compacted ( in layers ) then topped with screed ? Add all that up and have a chew over the numbers. .

Ok, we'll stop beating you up now For some other info, don't go filling that floor up with heavy and costly to handle hardcore. Instead buy as much damaged eps ( jablite ) as you can and make the floor up with that, stopping 150mm shy of the required finished slab level. Then go for concrete with steel reinforcing mesh and it'll be job done. You could even have Ufh at that stage but rads are so much easier and more widely expected in such a property.

I doubt you've got much choice if it's a rental tbh. If anything goes wrong and it injures a 3rd party ( Tennant ) then you need to show youve followed the rules and have used due diligence. The work is by no means rocket science, it's a relatively cheap project, and you may well need it for building insurance etc. Don't forget anything you dodge around could come back to bite you on the arse. Building control won't add a fortune to the job but will give you a paper trail if you need to value it or resell sooner than you may have wanted to. Also remember that failure to inform and apply for building control is a jailable offence iirc.
