This is looking to be quite a tasty project actually!

you could go for the entire ground floor as underfloor heating and have all the upstairs radiators from a manifold system.

This would afford you individual room controls throughout the entire house if you wished 🙂

This is the way to go
But 10k is unrealistic

You pay peanuts you get monkeys I'm afraid

Anyone, I am finally completng next next week and with have my architect in to draw floorplans etc the week after. Anyone fancy coming into discuss quotes and options?

This site for some reason is not allowing my to post a link of the property on rightmove (help admins??)
I will be converting from 4 flats back into a single dwelling so so some of the water and waste pipes will have to be capped (as we do not need so many kitchens and bathrooms) as well as a new central heating system.
I don't have a fixed budget, I believe that things like Windows, Roofs and Central heating are best done once and properly even if you spend a little bit more as you don't really want to be messing around with it 5-10 years down the line.

With regard to the central heating, i would be interested in a specialist discussing the options discussed in the thread and quoting me for the work.

Wolverhampton, TB.

Guys, I've done a couple of jobs for Robert in his London house. He's not unrealistic about budget, or the amount of work required. He's a clued-up guy who wants a decent job done. Can nobody help him out? A bit far for me otherwise I'd be up for it...

As for bathrooms:
1. One on second floor
2. Two En-suites on first floor

I will be putting in Lightwave RF throughout the house which includes individuall Rad Thermostats which will allow me to control the temperature of each radiator individually or by Zones so Will not need additional zones or manifolds plumbed in?

I am open to underfloor heating on the ground floor at least.

Wow,

Lightwave RF throughout the house, tell us more please???

 

[Ermintrude]

Ohhh don't. Fit standard two ports and prog stats or address the two ports and run via ip .

Ufh is excellent. If you do fit ufh oversize your rads by 150% then boiler runs cooler but house same temp also works better with weather comp and alternate energy in future as lower density heat req. if u can afford it wet ufh in bathrooms / will require biscuit job tho. Don't use spreaders house will sound like enamel bath in a hail storm of m10 nuts

Hi, Just posted a long reply and then my internet went haywire when i tried to submit.

I have lightwave RF in my current (smaller) property for all my light switches and power sockets. I also have their TRV's. This allow me individualy controls to all light\wall\radiator sockets that I can control using an app on my phone.

I can also pair the TRV's with a thermostat, but I tired this and got rid.

The trv's have day\night summer\winter temperatures as well as a holiday mode.

They work well for me as in the winter,m I will set the downstairs rads to a higher temperature and the upstairs ones a few C lower.

"Fit standard two ports and prog stats or address the two ports and run via ip"
Sorry, i'm not in the "trade" so don't really know what this means.

"weather comp"
Dito

"will require biscuit job tho"

This neither, help with plumbers lingo would be much appreciated 🙂

Two port is a valve, it's a lot more, reliable, durable and easier to replace. Does your current isystem give you real time feedback on temps?

Weather compensation. Basically makes your heating water temperature inversely proportional to outside temp. So when it's cold boiler works harder but when warm not so hard. - energy saving.

Biscuit mix . Light sand and cement screed on a celotex support to give thermal mass to a suspended floor underfloor heating job.

Thanks for the reply.
Currently there is no central heating system in place. The property is currently 4 one bedroomed flats that I will be converting back into a single dwelling. all flats have storage heaters as well as electric water immersion cylinders.

There is no GAS into the property (this was capped off at the entrance when they were converted 30 odd years ago).

First thing to do is get the ball rolling on getting that connection back on. Will be your cheapest form of heating tbh.

unless you feel like being all eco !!!
