   We are in the late thinking stages of a loft conversion but I seem to have hit a really deep streak of prejudice about having water on the top floor..... I really hate the idea for some reason but don't really have any reason for such a deep seated hatred or dread!! Our neighbours have put bathrooms / en-suites on the top floor but I cant even bring myself to put water filled radiators up there so will go for a couple of bedrooms but they will need to be kept warm. Was wondering if anyone had any knowledge or experience of electric radiators - could we use a few of these linked to a thermostat to keep the top floor heated? The bumf I have looked at about electric radiators says they work really well and are ultra efficient..... but they would say that wouldn't they. Thanks. RU

   Glad you got to the bottom of that.

   How many floors in your house currently have water?

   Is there a heating or water tank in the loft?

   To be honest not wanting the water on the top floor is a very weird thing. Just put normal rads in.

   If you have radiators in the rest of the house it’s daft not to use your hot water boiler to heat the loft as well
   I have a big water tank in my loft, doesn’t bother me (until I want to do a loft conversion)

   We currently have two floors, ground floor and 1st floor and have water filled rads and toilets on both floors. Water tank in the loft?..... that's crazy talk I tell you..... I had that removed when we moved in!

   perhaps it you get it installed and tell yourself there is no water up there it will all be OK

    Water running through an unheated part of a loft etc I can understand your issue. Problem with water to an insulated, domesticated extra floor - nope you have a problem!
