    Electric boiler/water tank & heaters

    We are looking to buy a property but they currently have old electric wall heaters and an outdated electric combi boiler with water tank. We dont plan to change to gas combi but would be looking to install a new electric combi boiler and water tank and remove all of the old heaters and replace them with newer electric radiators that are essentially plug in and use. The current bathroom has a bad and basic electric shower but we plan to rip this out and only have a walk in shower so we need a suitable boiler for this use We are looking for information on approximate costs to source and install a new electric boiler and water tank and remove all the old heaters safely.

    Loft Header Tank

    Hi, My small loft header tank in the loft is overflowing when the hot water/heating is switched on. It’s fine when the heating/water are off, but starts up again when it comes on again. It started with a few drips a few weeks ago to a slow flow now, which lasts for about 10-15 minutes when the heating/water initially comes on and then stops dripping again. Any ideas?

    Can wood flooring be laid on concrete?

    So I’ve a concrete floor in my property. Is it okay to fit a wood floor directly atop it or should this be avoided? Are there some scenarios where it would be okay and others where it would not work? Thanks.

    Double Glazing Seals?

    We moved into our flat in November last year and noticed the double glazing seals might have popped. I would just like to understand an approximate cost to get them repaired, as without the double glazing there is a fair bit of noise and a small draft coming in from some of the windows. There is no damage to the glass, as far as i'm aware it's just the seals.

    Electrical Extension - To Shed

    Hoping to get power into a garden shed. I have need of temporarily getting power to the shed for power tools as and when needed - i.e not on any regular basis. Not on a permanent basis. I can run an extension cable outside to the shed, and intend to put a trailing lead socket into a weatherproof ext cover which then connects through the shed into a Metal Clad USB Switched Socket (13A 2 Gang)...my intention would be to wire the tag end of the trailing cable into the switched socket - which is connected to the trailing cable socket in the ext weatherproof cover - which would receive power from an extension lead connected from the house itself. This is setup this way to avoid trip hazards/extension cables running across a shed floor. Is this feasible ? Anything connected to the switched sockets would be on an RCD adaptor.
