Manifold with pumps, expansion vessels and black insulated pipes

What needed doing

The boiler-room installation had to fit into a tight space under the roof.

What we did

We installed the boiler, cylinders and expansion vessels, the manifolds with their pumps and the insulated pipework.

On the roof we ran the flue and installed the outdoor unit with its pipework.

The result

Every boiler-room component fits in the space available and can still be reached.
