Megaflo installation

Posts: 14 Forumite
Hi all,
I'm looking to upgrade my system from a traditional vented system to an unvented, the main reason being we're having a loft conversion done and the current setup is inadequate, plus the tanks need to go from the existing loft space. I've had a quote from a company recommended by the loft company and wondering if it seems reasonable?
The current main is lead so needs to be replaced with MDPE as our flow isn't good enough, the provider will do their bit to the boundary but there's then approximately a 20 m run to the existing stop !!!!, underneath the side path so a lot of labour in digging that out and then making good.
I am also having all the pipework moved from its current location in an airing cupboard to the other side of the same internal wall in the 2nd bedroom and will build a wardrobe round it at a later date, the reason being the current airing cupboard space can be better used to either make the existing bathroom bigger or make the bathroom smaller and have a study/single bedroom in the future.
Sorry for all the rambling - any comments or advice would be much appreciated, many thanks! I'm in SW London

That's exactly what I've asked. I'm also trying to get a quote for moling the new mains in rather than digging. Does anyone know if Thames Water still offer a subsidised installation from the boundary into your house?0
