    Back boiler replacement

    I’m looking to buy a property that had a back boiler and replacing this with a combi. The kitchen backs onto the fireplace so hoping it wouldn’t be too much of a job to relocate the boiler. The house has no gas heaters but obviously the house is connected to the gas through the back boiler. I know that prices will vary; but is there a rough costing for this? It’s a three bed house. Sadly I can’t get a gov grant as I don’t qualify. Any help will be appreciated in terms of potential cost to expect and also is it best to get radiators installs first and then replace boiler?

    Is composite decking cheaper than a concrete patio?

    We are replacing a tired old patio and cannot decide between composite decking and concrete slabs. Which is cheaper once you include labour and which lasts longer with minimal upkeep? I think we're leaning more towards the composite decking right now but want some expert thoughts
