Just had a closer look at the PE pipe. I’ve only got about 5” from ground before stopcock & didn’t want to damage the lagging too much, so I’d just guessed. I’ve now measured it (best I can) at 28mm OD.
I’m not sure if the boiler has life in it. It’s 12 years old. I don’t know what the norm is??? Knowing the builder, I imagine it’s designed to just about cover the size of the house & since I’ve extended 2 stories, I thought it might be under-powered??
The fitter who will do the job is not the same person who told me Combis were best. I don’t know him, but he just fitted my neighbours & I know he would only deal with a fully registered person & he definitely does his homework. When I spoke with the fitter yesterday, he seemed to think that the 170 was enough to cope with one bath & 2 showers, but if we had a 2nd bath (which we won’t), we’d need the next size up. Next door has 2 teenage girls & they’ve had the CL170 (only yesterday mind you), so I’ll have to ask how they’re getting on quickly as the guy said he would order mine yesterday.
