hello.Im thinking of moving house, the house i'm looking at is a good priceand doesn't have any hideous problems. The previous tenants whereevicted and ripped out all the copper pipes however the radiators arestill in place. upon purchase i intend to pay someone to install a combi gas boiler -ive seen companies offering to install these fitted for about £1000 to£1500.. how much would reconnecting the boiler to the radiators add tothe price?(i prefer plastic PB or PEX pipes to copper)I want to add a standalone shower also. Is it better to link the standalone shower to the combi boiler or haveits electric with it own little boiler?could anyone recommend a company? the house is in bacup lancashire.ThanksSuperdonkey

Only if you install one from the late '70s - early '80s

boiler or immersion fails

I've certainly done that while on holiday in an old stone cottage, with no central heating, over Christmas.

I wouldn't want to use the hob and a load of open doors to try and heat the baby's bedroom at home though.
