    @suiside - very nice indeed!

    the boiler is installed and working, just needs to be officially comissioned so its covered by warranty etc. We are living in the house and have been right from the start.

    Thanks all, really glad you like it so much! Andy popped by this morning on his way to fitting a kitchen in Cardiff and took the unit off and Wickes have now said they'll swap unit so he's kindly swinging past tomorrow to connect it back up again! Good times, shower for the weekend! :)
