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.
