New house to be re-plumbed

PaddyCar

Just after buying house which has being lying ideal for 2 years. All plumbing had been done and connected up but since then someone has broken in and taken all the radiators (9 in total), oil burner, hot cylinder and pump. All the pipes to the radiators are still there with the correct fittings.
Anyone have any ideas on costs involved in restoring the plumbing to a decent standard and what sort of issues there may be. thanks

Hey there paddy,
what happened you is unfortunate but not uncommon. It was good of them to leave the pipework:o which alot of those sort of people dont do. If the pipework is still intact and witout seeing it you could put it back together for around 1000 euro. Now that is providing you are willing to buy good second hand stuff. I have put houses back together for people in this situation before and with the pipework intact it is very straight forward.

Hope this helps and good luck with the project.

Hi Paddy
Sorry to here about your heat loss issues

I will try to explain this as best thet I can
measuring the radiator pipes from pipe center to pipe center and subtracting 80mm .
So if you measure pipe to pipe at 1280 mm you will need a 1200mm radiator
If the pipe is 40 mm from the wall to the center of the pipe you will probably need a single radiator
If the pipe is 80mm from the wall to pipe center then you wil need a double radiator

I would suggest at least a 36inch x 18 inch indirect preinsulated cylinder with immersion

To get the correct output for your boiler :

Measure each room lenght x width x height and multiply total by 6
This will give you the BTUs required for your boiler then add in around 10,000btu for cylinder.

I do hope this is helpful and if you need further assistance pkease reply
