    Renovating and extending an old house......discovered a lot of rot in existing roof and have given the go ahead for a completley new one. I like the idea of the ceilings inside following the roof line but what space should I leave for a water tank.....are their any specs for this?
    Thanks, excellent forum have learned a lot already.

    Thanks for that Heatherview. What would you say was the right tank for a 4 bedroomed house with downstairs toilet, one ensuite and a bathroom?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Framer

    Water tank normally 60/70Gal for domestic water. You can pick what suites you of pages i sent you, unless bigger is specified? Downstairs wc of the mains water. Position tank with adequate supports because they weigh a lot.

    Size matters, or weight to be more specific. The bigger the tank the heavier it will be when full of water.
    Discuss this issue with your plumber and roof designer. Position of attic tank and supporting joists are an important issue.

    thanks folks, I was in a house recently where I am convinced the tank was too small, just want to stay a step ahead of the venerable plumber!....will be back with another question shortly I'm sure!:D

    Part G of the Technical Guidance documents requires 340 litres or about 75 gallons storage for a 4 bed house.
