Several calls and emails from plumber and main contractor today.
Turns out some of the rads are oversized for asthetics as they took out some fairly large single panel rads from the 60s that stretched a window and have replaced with similar size but modern. Also he's removing five rads from the upstairs circuit and putting onto their own separate run to remove further loads from the upstairs circuit.
Also going to alter boiler pipework and sort out a bypass, fit all remaining rads etc.
Main contractor and plumber on site all day Monday and they have been tasked with demonstrating the system working as it should.
Can I book snow or at least a good frosty day for Monday please? 🙂
I may be light hearted about it, but seriously ripping the carpets and floors up to replace pipework in the future if it needs it seems just like trivial bit of upset after the build itself. We were supposed to be home end of November 2014 if that gives an indication of how farcical this process has been.
