    Indirect vented cylinder - feed from mains instead of water tank. Doable?

    dont get a builder to do a plumbers job, if u want a pressurised system go for an unvented system installed by a competent person :) you, the wife, kids + dog will be safe. may be a bit more expensive but no where near as many probs as letting the builder do it.

    solar thermal hot water course

    Done the BPEC solare hot water, was open book n its pretty much the same as the unvented! Before sitting the Solar thermal the college checked everyone had passed an unvented course... Think it was £55 each to do the test.

    Underfloor heating installed without insulation

    slowly increase the heat to the screeded floor bud, hitting it straight away with high temps could cause the screed to crack.
