Providing the system wasnt installed before your neighbours moved in have you asked them who they used?snowhead my neighbour opposite has exactly the same house and setup up as what i have just described!... only thing is they don't have underfloor heating but radiators. i have included a couple of pictures of their setup in the loft. they also have 4 shower rooms and 2 kitchens and they have absolutely no problem! and as i said before i tried looking on the internet in yell.com for HEATING DESIGNING ENGINEERS and it just comes up with your bog standard plumbers!View attachment 8287

Pappa Smurf, you need to hire someone like the two gents who have posted photos to do this. It can't be done by your average jobbing plumber. Doesn't matter that what you want isn't a nuclear power station. It is still very far removed from bread and butter work for most guys.
If your pockets are deep enough, then get one of these blokes down to do it. The problem is, no one is going to want to spend hours speccing and designing this, only for you to give the job to some one else.
I've done a fair few big systems, but it's not my average day at the office. You need to speak to some one who is doing this every single day.
Exactly this last year we hooked up 3 x 40 kw boilers on a LLH and loads of pumps etc, we were owed ÂŁ26K! It went on for 10 months, no wonder I have a frier tuck hair do! You can make money, but when it goes wrong most go under!Move to an area that generally build big with money then work hard for about 10 to 15 years till you get a name for doing good work then you hope you get paid at end of job or your screwed
Hope that helps
Then you will need mechanical mixing valves on all manifolds and pumps
I will keep it brief as you really need someone on site!
Option 3 ......Junk the 24 Ri ,bash in a 40 CDi (actually 41KW) no LLH Commercial spec grunfos pump for primary's say 42mm copper so 11/2" flanged, 4 zone valves (DHW,1 for each UFH Manifold) with autobypass honeywell DU146........5 pumps = 1 x main 1 x bronze secondary 3 already fitted on UFH manifolds, ensure megflo has a balancing valve fiited on return from coil, to obtain 20 deg diff, as 1/1/2" pump will send it through the coil too quickly on DHW mode only, Autobypass will sort the rest, and UFH manfiolds will look after themselves due to mixing valve etc...........
Aww Cr@p book me a hotel!!!!
9 branch manifold on 22mm pipe mate!
by a plumber who bottled the job and did a runner
Lol like the sound of the nice blow heaters (NOT) lol
whats the difference between munson rings and plastic?.... they both do the same job, dont they?... i mean just securing the pipework!... or is there some science involved that we don't know about?... please advis.

I found him a few years ago when i was doing my existing house (downstairs full underfloor heating) from the polyplumb accredited installer website. He is quite good, and he does commercial aswell, thats why he has done quite a few LLH setups. Which really helps i have used him a few times since.
I'm gonna be going to the PHEX exhibition aswell on the 15th and 16th Nov. at Chelsea. might be able to hook up with some good guys there aswell who can give a few more quotes, just for comparison purposes
Why would you take a chance on someone unknown when you already have a plumber you trust? Take his quote and run with it IMHO.
Difficult to say for reasons above....did ÂŁ10.5K Inc VAT? Stage payments? Deposit?To be honest cant really say if reasonable or high as don't know what spec you talked about
Don't know size of house
Don't know spec of bathrooms
Make up of house ect
Gray0689 this is why i am also confused i need to get a comparison from other plumbers. the house "will" be a 7 bedroom (2 in the loft), 2 reception rooms, 2 kitchens and 4 shower rooms.
believe me i know this sounds like a mansion, but believe me its nothing of the sort! its actually quite small. when i mention 7 bedrooms to people immediately they think its massive!
the spec of each shower room is 1 shower head with 1 thermostatic valve, 1 basin, 1 toilet. and the plumber does not have to fit any of these facilities!... he just has to give the supply outlets for the builder to hook up.View attachment 8617
Builder to hook up?
When did a builder become a plumber
Is your builder putting in soils wastes ect
Pay me cash and me and vern will come do it cheaper than your quote lol
