Go with gas but have boilers etc in downstairs plant room, so when gas becomes the devil on 30 years time, it’s easy to swap out if I way more green I would go with ASHP, but for me it’s a cost issue

Mine is 18 months old, so this looks like an updated version, with better resolution cameras, it has an app for remote viewing, I don’t use it, I have no fixitation to watch cameras all the time, every time the postman/delivery arrives. i just log on at the weekend and check viewing history, if it’s continuous green strip it’s recording. If it looks like a bar code it’s stopped for some reason. I have no connection to the company. i was just looking for something that was fit for purpose, recorded images and wasn’t too expensive.

When I did my city and guilds legionella courses they advised that the short branch , the water isn’t scoured out if it’s more than 2 x times the diameter, so effectively the last fitting where water is drawn off, in this situation pipe shouldn’t extend more than 100/120mm my plumbers did another course with me, and again this was reiterated but they advised they didn’t get this info at college during apprenticeship L8’s a good money spinner for some companies , disinfecting tanks, shower heads etc , that’s why we do all our estate in house.

So as it’s a new install I would ask them to rectify.

Agree with risk being minimal, chlorinated water under 20deg, if an L8 risk assessment was to be carried out it would advise the dead leg shouldn’t be more 2x the diameter of the pipe.

Sansco on amazon its plug and play. 2mp cameras. think you get everything including 4 cameras for under £200. Includes cables. I have expensive cameras and recorders at work so am aware what’s on the market , this works great

Plus 1 for above

Probably because some people may want to use a system boiler and hot water cylinder with an immersion and use a diverter to maximise solar power to power the immersion... I don’t have room for a cylinder so that why I have a combi.

PV panels generate electricity so have no adverse impact with a combi boiler. that’s exactly what I have , no issues in the past 10 years

What kind of solar panels are you talking about? solar Thermal or PV

I wouldn’t be overly concerned about legionella in a domestic situation heating a tank is helpful, but if there isn’t a destratification pump it may not heat the whole body of the tank....

My first kitchen in my current house was a second nature kitchen . excellent build quality. lasted 14 years before we changed the rooms about. sold it on when it was removed inreally liked the top wall unit brackets, they were a continuous strip that you cut to size, meant you got great fixings.

I agree with Big Jimbo.

Indeed do I, However it’s a downstairs WC so imagine someone will at some point, and I would rather have a normal partition with sound insulation. also agree that accessing a washing machine from a small WC is impractical.

Nice meal being prepared in the kitchen with the musical accompaniment of someone straining on the pan. wall with insulation for me all the time

Pop over to the navitron forum, loads of offgridders there

If toilets and kitchens can be above each other or in line so pipework can be run between joists, that may help with drainage issues?

Get some neighbours to write in with supporting comments

So that excludes pretty much of the major house builders and the bedrooms they throw up

Be careful though there may be pipes and cables under where you plans to screw down. best to lift the squeaky boards to find our what’s under the. Look and see where fixings can be placed. more work-yes, definitely less grief if you hit a pipe!

Unistrut is ideal for this, so wouldn’t think it would be a problem. maybe require a 45deg cantilever from the wall unistrut to the underside of the horizontal unistrut instead of a bridge use the best wall anchors possible!

I have seen Robin’s video and to be honest I’ve never seen in done that way in my neck of the woods, the reveals are always square with the wall.
