Morning all, hope all is well in the plumbing world. It was bloody hot yesterday and as hot if not hotter today. Enjoy it while it lasts as apparently it's the last we're having for 2021. boooooo

Not raining, but typical English grey day without sun and around 15°C at a guess. Unusual to have a dry grey day here at 3000ft altitude, so I'm guessing it will rain at some point.

Did these today. From standard rads with exposed pipes down the back. Got to go back and finish the plaster work though.

I’ve seen a few with just 3, thought it was normal? Probably saves them 40 pence per towel rail 😃

Both came with 3. Think it depends on the heights with centerrad.

A replacement boiler and rads

That turned into a cylinder replacement as the old one was leaking

Every time i change a cylinder I normally have to do something with the floor 😩

What's peoples take on mounting boilers on Ply? Thought the regs state that you can't mount on a combustible material, yet many mount on ply. Not saying it's wrong, but manufactures instructions i've read don't state that it can be done?

Some mi's do allow.

My end to the week turned up to a load of boxes ugh flat pack and missing the toilet front panel

Me personally I think the cisterns too big for the unit as the flush pipe is cutting it close
