    UFH and zone valves help?

    Hi all Got an existing combi with 3rd party controls. There is a towel rail zone with 2 port valve and UFH manifold with 4 actuators and a 2 port valve. They are having an extension with another UFH manifold with 3 actuators, would this need a 3rd 2 port or just use the same as the other UFH?

    Outside taps for £70

    What do you guys charge for outside taps? The standard through a kitchen wall under the sink. I charge £125, usually do a few each year but people are offering £70 around here? It’s £25 materials minimum and by the time you have cleared the cupboard and tidied up it’s 1.5 hours work for me.
