Hi there. Seeking guidance for the above. What is the appropriate process and materials to connect a perforated French drain pipe into a brick chamber please? Should there be a one way flap value inserted from the pipe at the point of entry along with a u bend to prevent both rats and the smell of the sewers coming to the surface? The French drain is only 4mts long. Many thanks. Graeme

I am confused? I have had 4 quotes for a new combi boiler. Two of the quotes say I new a pipe upgrade and Two say I don't? My boiler is in an off shot galley kitchen (next to a normal gas cooker). The floor distance from the meter (in the cellar) is approx 10/ 11mts. There are a couple of bends that take the pipe from the cellar to the kitchen. The pipe is 22mm all the way. I have looked at a 24kw Ideal basic Boiler and a 30kw Ideal Logic Max. Which company should I believe?
