Ok so here is the final design 4 floors, 5 manifolds. 1 floor has a 12 and 10 port manifold, and the others either a 10 or 12 port manifold. All pipes to have 150mm centres. Going for smart stats that apparently have a couple of years life in them. Maybe I should have gone with the hard wired stats like I did in the current house but anyhow, decided the smart with app control. We will have 2 boilers linked for the entire house

Hi All, I have UFH to install on my new build property, and I wanted to ask how many separate flow and returns are required to each manifold from the boiler. I'd say each to have a dedicated flow/return back to the boiler room, however what are your thoughts to reducing this down to 3 x flow/returns to all 5 manifolds? What are the drawbacks to this? Is it even recommended as it would reduce the heat up time if 2 manifolds are sharing the same flow and return? Will the UFH equipment provider agree/disagree? Setup: lower ground: 1 manifold (12 port) ground floor: 2 monifolds (5 and 10 port) First floor: 1 manifold (12 port) Second floor: 1 manifold (10 port) Thanks C

Yes all rooms will have their own thermostats and this will be zoned so if I want heating on in a bedroom, it would come on in the ensuite too

Hi All, On a property with full floor UFH, would you install towel radiators in the ensuites? Thanks C

Good read that thanks

Well yeah but I mean you can go out there an get a quote off 4 different people for the exact same job and there can be 100% difference in the price. Also people do tend to quote much higher prices if they are quoting against a more expensive property.

Hi All, What is the general labour only going rate north west uk for felt/batten/slating a roof? I know it depends on how complex it is, but generally speaking looking to understand where you would price, assuming its on a m2 basis. This would be on a roof over 200m2 Thanks C

Yes have warranty provider involved. Still same quality so I dont see why it would matter if this is all internal.

Yes it will be inside and not exposed to UV so should not be an issue. I can always check with building control
