Replacement pipes were installed with a 20mm diameter from the mains all the way to the HWC and shower mixers to maximise flow. A new mains cylinder was installed to increase hot pressure.The old framing was built from 500mm off cuts of timber that has been poorly nailed together. The majority of timber on the two external walls required replacement.
