If you were dry lining some insulation (not much probably 35-40mm dot and dab insulated plasterboard to a late 50’s concrete slab floor/ceiling/cavity brick/block walls flat and fitting new rads/piping would you over spec the rads and go bigger bore with one eye on the future?
At the moment a ASHP is out of the question as leaseholder will not allow it, they will not even let you fit aluminium double glazing to replace crittall so it’s secondary glazing only but i think they will have to wake up and allow ugly boxes to be fitted at some point and possibly cavity wall insulation in the whole building.
I still wonder if this is ever going to be enough to ditch the gas boiler given there is only so much you can do to a building from the 50’s/60’s?
