Owning your own home

may explain why the place we're buying has electric showers)?

might be as Howard alludes too - the boiler isn't big enough to deliver instant hot water

i have an electric shower in a fairly standard 3 bed semi and the water isn't hot instant especially in the bathroom- there's only 3 taps in the house so I need to find out how the system is plumbed and fit a return on it

if the surveyor carries a water gauge with them should be doable - what area are you looking at?

Combis are great and you’ll get decent hot water out a lot of them now without having one that’s massive but really if you have decent water pressure in your house and space you want an unvented hot water cylinder. I’m such a fan of it, it’s brilliant.

Do we always need to be able to put out fires?

we are seeing an increase in sprinkler systems for this very reason. i think the way you've worded it needs expanding - what would help us is if the fire services could extract from the large SUDs ponds you see on these large new developments or water reuse

if you have decent water pressure in your house and space you want an unvented hot water cylinder. I’m such a fan of it, it’s brilliant.

This is what we have in our gaff. System boiler (actually it’s a dual combi / system boiler because presumably so you can do away with a separate expansion doobry ) and a mega-flow tank.

Bathroom is mostly in.

Don't listen to other people, get what makes you happy.

Unless it's a live, laugh, love sign.

I think this might actually be what I have. We have a big tank, a boiler and an expansion vessel.

Need to do some research on this.

@chrisbmx116 Here is pink/terrazzo with brass (gold?) for the moodboard. We went for a cooler pink, and thus chrome as well - which really changed the vibe of the room quite significantly.

The 2LG pink bathroom was my starting point for pink inspo - so finding our way back to chrome was somewhat of a relief both in terms of choice/cost of fittings!

'Coppermill Village' E17. At least that's what @Chrisbmx116 calls it. Next to the marshes. Ironically the place we're buying is at medium risk of flooding from rivers and the sea. Or if the reservoir across the way bursts.

Can I interest you in a fireplace?

Lovely houses in that bit. Have you investigated building insurance?

Megaflow has the expansion vessel internally, which is great.

So far have these pencilled in

Is that a Burlington toilet?

Cheers.. bit west London for me... any pics of yours? We are looking at a light pink too...

been looking at this as a reference: https://www.davidov.com.au/rsb-residence

Looking really solid...
extractor wise, where is the transformer? I hear there are new ultra low voltage regs that mean you need a transformer/box?

Are those well designed, simple, timeless, high quality Hansgrohe taps I see?

.

Aye, I'd guess so, misses refuses silver taps though....

Nice pink. Defo a fan of light pink. And less light pink.

Yes

Install mood lighting that makes them look pink?

The indecision is how we wound up with pink paint instead of tiles. very un-moneygun I know!

my last bathroom was light pink. was very calming
