The problem
Four bedroom terrace, tank in the loft, cylinder in the airing cupboard, and radiators that took an hour to warm up. The owners wanted the airing cupboard back and were quoted between £2,800 and £4,600 by three other firms, none of whom would commit until after a paid survey.
What we did
We stripped out the tank, cylinder and all the redundant pipework, ran new 22mm from the meter, fitted a Worcester Bosch 4000 in the kitchen and rebalanced all nine radiators. The loft went from full of plumbing to empty and boarded.
Where it ended up
The house heats in eighteen minutes rather than an hour. They got a cupboard back. The final invoice matched the quote to the penny, including the two extra days of pipework we had not budgeted for.
