Is there a place on here to find a local chap to me?

Agreed. Alternatively, if that doesn't work, try the cylinder manufacturer's website. They'll usually list several 'approved installers' for your area. They'll have done the manufacturer's product-specific training and you may get a longer warranty if you use them.Tbh i'd go off local recommendations from people who have actually used someone.
Is that INC VAT and you supplying all the materials and sourcing them? Or they sorting materials too.1900 labour for two days two blokes, minus the spark....
Seems rediculous to me...
Thats purely the labour content.inc vat. I have the cylinder, they say to supply pipe and fittings. Plus 1 zone valve.Is that INC VAT and you supplying all the materials and sourcing them? Or they sorting materials too.
3 days for 1 man?I would say 3 days with lagging and the discharge pipework that runs externally u less you have a soil vent up there
What do you mean by sealing?Also I would recommended sealing the system as the cylinder is in the loft high chance of pumping over
Yeah, 360 a day, what is a plumbers day??Depends where you are. But we’re billing out at £300+VAT per day per man, plus your materials. So it’s probably not a million miles away.
3 days for 1 man?
NO, no soil vent, but there are easy options for discharge i would think...
What do you mean by sealing?
I see. Wasnt going to bother pressurising the heating tbh. At present anyway... is this the best way to go?Expansion vessel and filling loop for the heating system instead of a f and e tank
Why high chance of what pumping over??What do you mean by sealing?
Why high chance of what pumping over??
Sorry boss, you lost me.....am i right in thinking the f+e tank needs raising as high as possible above the cylinder??You haven’t much head from the top of the cylinder coil and bottom of the f and e tank at present you have around 2.4m ish with a cylinder in the loft maybe 1-1.5 m max
This isnt possibleYes you want a min of 2m above the coil of the cylinder to the bottom of the f and e tank
Cws tank to current vented cylinder....yes.Think of your current height and coil height bet that’s over 2m
Its mad...things are going to crash soon...people simply arnt earning enough to pay the trades going ratesEasier just to seal as @ShaunCorbs says. No point going to the effort to raise the tank.
£360 is up North, so £450 South West is probably not bad
Don't forget, pay cheap pay twice. Good labour costs.
Cws tank to current vented cylinder....yes.
Why does the feed and expansion for the boiler need to be a mimimum 2m??
Don't like their price? Then just ask another firm to give you a quote.Its mad...things are going to crash soon...people simply arnt earning enough to pay the trades going rates

Thanks Shaun....think i need to rethink or fully understand what im needing ot what people are trying to inatall!....To have a high resistance so when hot water only is on it doesn’t pump over
and there lies the problem. Ring and leave messages and never get a response!Don't like their price? Then just ask another firm to give you a quote.
You are assuming the feed and vent are connected either side of the boiler? I'd have the feed and vent both on the suction side of the pump on a low head system, no pumping over and only consideration is enough head to prevent cavitation.To have a high resistance so when hot water only is on it doesn’t pump over
Bit beond me at present tbh...You are assuming the feed and vent are connected either side of the boiler? I'd have the feed and vent both on the suction side of the pump on a low head system, no pumping over and only consideration is enough head to prevent cavitation.
I have no F+E tankLike this. Both cold feed and vent on the flow pipe off the boiler.
You mentioned one in post #56I have no F+E tank
Removed nowYou mentioned one in post #56
"Raise f+e tank in loft."
