Replacement of immersion element - issue re tank

[Bambergaspipe]

Lazy... just about rebuilt the house for her and just flown in

I just lack the plumbing tools (never do any).
However I will pick up a box spanner tomorrow.

If no joy I will go through the plumbers.

Looking through bes co uk I see lots of 16-18" diameter vented tanks, 900mm high, so it looks like off-the-shelf may fit. More importantly I am happy to find prices are £200 when I had expected £600. Thus I can cover right through to new tank if necessary AND still buy the surprise for her (replacement heating, Rinnai 308s in place of storage heaters). Solid floors & variable ceiling height means she does not want the disruption of GCH and the existing balanced flue heaters are no thermostat, no programmer, miss-sized and in the wrong places.

Thanks.

You sound like a jolly decent chap, try box spanner see how you get on, I`m in North West, if you are really stuck then I`ll see what I can do

judging by the state of your first post bamber, I've probably stole and weighed in more than you've drained. [/quote

Yeah, but I bet you haven`t drained 2 bottles of wine, 6 pints of guinness and half of a bottle of Ozzie White`s You`ll have to excuse my replies being mixed up. I can`t be ar*sed.

Thanks.

She has had a rough time, looking after everyone else, and a case of no-one left to help her. No surviving relatives except for me, no surviving friends either bar one who is only contactable by telephone.

If I get stuck, will post back
