New build - is the system the builders are proposing any good???

Persimmon was a topic on Watchdog recently. Plenty of complaints.

Persimmon have a bad name for quality, most house builders do tho.

I have worked on and off new build housing for 20 plus years, the standards are at the lowest they have ever been. The biggest problem is lack of quality control and poor labour prices.

If i was to buy a new build house i would consider hiring a independant professional to snagg the property throughout the build process.

Persimmon are cheap skates. Insist on them sticking to the original spec.

Like buying a top of the range car & being told when you to come to collect it that they changed the heated leather seats to cloth, they do the same job & you won't notice the difference 😉

Where in Warwickshire? House builders are not the example to follow. They use plastic and design on 80c flow temps still

Have i read the original OP correct that you will have two leaky showers??

If so pulling a lot of amps that be more worried about those cables overheating

It can be done but a pair of contactors would need to be used and wired in correctly so that only one shower can be used at a time.

Thought it maybe something like that was under impression you could only draw in X amount of kilowatts in domestic house

100 amps but you need to take surge currents into consideration

+1 and a typical house with the normal lights and tv on draws about 17-20 amps

close you can get shower priority boards, so say if no 1 shower is on no 2 doesn't come on until shower 1 is finished and so on

you done your part p refresh yet?
