Recommend me a combi boiler please for my 2 bedroom house

[Ermintrude]

So what work are u planning to do? So far u just ripped out. Assume u had a GSR cap off the supply?

You should replace all the radiators
Run 15mm pipe from each rad to a central 22mm "spine" provide zones and trvs to suit output and a leak rad, including drain off at lowest points and avoiding air locks.
You should provide the installer with a 32mm solvent weld waste pipe connection at the proposed location,
You should clear a route for the gas supply - you cannot look at or touch it legally!
You can have a part p sparkie install a 13A fused spur within 1m of proposed location but sufficiently routed to avoid contravening regulations which apply to the gas pipe.

This will save you a few pennies but if it's a mess then could cost u a lot!

Also hot and cold will be required at the boiler location in 15mm copper.

You cannot use plastic within 1m of boiler on services.

1st post on this thread but suggest the following.

1 Get plumbers to come, look and quote.
2 Choose your plumber and talk to him about what you can do yourself to lower the costs.
3 Book him.

What may seem simple to you may not be quite so simple.

What a waist of time this handy person was ! 3 days to run hot and cold around the bathroom and still 1st fix not done ! We done a conversion +6 rads and all new pipe work to bathroom in 2 days

Im a roofer by trade and also do fascias sofits and gutters, used to be a bricky.

I have completed some basic courses on electrics n plumbing, I know enough to get me by, I rewired the whole house apart from the light circuit which I only done minor work to, moved added an moved sockets ran wire pretty much everything, then had a sparky in to update the fuse box check over everything an sign I off.

Basically im going to connect all new rads 2 of 6 already done 1 will be towel rail, wil put dran plug on the rad It was first on

Ill clear path for gas and also run the hot and cold for kitchen sink so I can fit the kitchen permanently, as said tanks and boiler have been removed gas was capped off by GS its turned off at the outside box.

mains water is already nearby

only thing about the rads is the whole systm is run in 15mm, it only changed to 22mm at the old boier and there was only about 2 feet of it, everything else is 15mm from what I can see

See there's the problem. Knowing enough to get you by is not the same as knowing how to it properly. Therefore your help might actually turn out to be a hindrance. Get a professional, pay them a decent rate and get the job done right once for all.

Seems intent on DIY? Course on being a bricky too? That's why he's doing roofing now !!

22mm can't say that's why u need to have some on site help! Good luck. ! When it's all done upload some pictures and the gas safe cert for the boiler , if not just to show all the doubters !

OP has had more than enough sensible advice now.

Closing this thread before I have to slap peoples thighs for flaming.
