To provide an efficient heating system with A rated boiler with a five year warranty.
To provide two independent heating zones, one for heating and one for hot water with programmable temperature control.
To provide an unvented domestic hot water cylinder to supply the house with pressurised hot water.
To upgrade the existing gas supply from the current meter position to the new boiler position.
To upgrade the incoming stop tap with a new stop !!!!.
To decommission:
Existing hot water cylinder and storage tank in roof where necessary and remove from site.
Existing boiler, radiators where necessary and storage tank in roof and remove from site.
To supply and fit
External works

Upgrade the ceased incoming stop !!!! with a new brass stopcock. Install pressure reducing valve in downstairs cloakroom.

if that's the exact wording, then it's not an english firm, so i'd be wary that it complies with any of the building regsI'm only here while I wait for Corrie to start.
You get no BS from me & if I think you are wrong I WILL tell you.0 -
