As you no longer have a hot water tank it might be worth doing what I did. My airing cupboard is in the bathroom and I fitted a towel radiator in the back of my airing cupboard, I also fitted an electric heating element into this towel rail and the main one for the bathroom and powered them via a two hour run-back timer. This gives me back the airing cupboard and it can be used when the heating is otherwise turned off!
I have the cupboard prepared for just that having got the plumber to fit a couple of tails to provide hot water for a rad. Have been waiting 4 years now for him to remember to dump off a removed 2nd hand rad of a suitable size, I do keep my eyes open in skips when I can remember. But now inevitably said cupboard is filled with sundry other stuff!

Pretty much all the working detail now added to the base, just Tank Lid to do. So time for some spraying, too impatient to wait for summer so the cardboard box has been brought into action on the workbench. With relavant protection of course. The first pic shows the buffers and Brake Pipes now added with the end shown removed just for Paul.View attachment 308608
That tank looks a handy hidy-hole, I wonder how many red boxes will fit? :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
