Having an issue with a bathroom with no hot water pressure. Basically we had a loft conversion done about 2 years ago and this the company doing it went bust without finishing leaving us in a bit of a mess.
Anyway I have fitted a bathroom suite myself not brill but it looks ok.
however we have no pressure.
Just had a plumber come to look at it and I got a bit of a shock
he was suppsed to be quoting for a salamander negative head pump but as the hot water tank is fitted with 22mm pipe in and out they say it may drain the tank to quickly.
So they suggested renewing all the pipe work which will be a nightmare and very costly and wreck a load of new decorating etc so we would rather not go this route.
Next suggestion was to use the said pump and a bigger 200 ltr hot water tank?? or as this guy has just said an unvented system. He has suggested that the unvented system will resolve it and provide mains hot water pressure for the whole house( he is corgi or gas safe which ever it is now by the way) with minimal disruption. He reckons this will cost around £500 plus vat and then labour on top which I have no idea how much that will be yet.
If anyone knows anything about this sort of thing and would be happy for me to pick their brains I would be so grateful.
Cheers
Andy
