Hi folks,
I'm a DIYer. Can plumb neatly and very very slowly, but not ashamed to contract out large jobs like my heating to people who can do it quicker and more compactly
Cheers Tim
PS here's some stuff I've actually done:
Fitted a bathroom from scratch.
Designed a new heating system (full replacement):
UK.DIY Radiators v2.0
and found some really great local plumbers to implement it, all driven by a WB 42CDi combi boiler, chosen for its high DHW output whilst still being compact.
Controls are Genius: Remote Heating Control | Heating App which is a Z-Wave radio system which allows for as many zones as you want without any more wiring with the trade off you get to change a bunch of AA batteries each year.
Overall the system is performing well at 55/45C thanks to efficient and generously sized rads, except for the kitchen which could do with bigger rads but wall space is severely lacking. I tend to increase the system to 65/55C in the depths of winter when required.
