I have a modern (yr 2000) house with Gas central heating. We have gravity fed water system and radiators. Hot water in airing cupboard and cold tank in the loft. I am sure many saying 'standard' setup.
I am about to do some work on the house in series of projects:
1. Bathroom refit *2
2. New Boiler
3. Extension with underfloor heating (approx 1/2 of groundfloor so will lose some radiators from current setup)
The two bathrooms we have are bath & shower; bath - all off gravity hot water feed.
We will virtually never (or will deal with) someone in the shower while washer is on and filling a bath elsewhere.
We'd like a power (more powerful not skin stripping) shower. I don't know whether to go to a pump or try a new hot water system a. Combi boiler or b. Vented Pressurised System seems best options based on what I have read elsewhere.
Our cold water mains supply is fairly strong and reliable. I dont want to crack on with the Bathroom fit to find my boiler refit means re-work. If sensible I will get my plumber (yet to identify) to do it all in one go.
Any plumbing terms used here correctly ot incorrectly are by accident - I am a lightbulb changing DIY expert
Any help greatly appreciated !
