king of pipes · Oct 31, 2019

I have a insurance job to try and rescue a poorly installed quad shower the customer wants to save the tiling if possible and has a few spare so fingers crossed it may work , the loss adjuster allowed em £1500 that will just about cover materials. Kop

Very nice mate. What do you do with the old bbu and flow and return?

Removed the BB and fire, 28mm gravity pipework removed and new flow and return teed into existing heating pipework under floorboards.
The gas was a bit of a pig, lifted loads of floorboards and it was all in 3/8 iron

Some good deals on Vaillant combis, std flue and omega filter at Mr central heating if you have one nearby

Will have a look but I tend to fit the vaillant filter for the extra warranty. I have got a bbu to combi coming up.

Thats for the pure and plus though?
I Pay £180 to extend the warranty to 10 years on the pros and fit my choice of filter, works out slightly cheaper.
