It must be a fair cupboard then. There is no problem about moving the cylinder and cistern up to the loft, but you would need to change the cylinder for a horizontal one unless you have a tall loft. You could fit an unvented cylinder, but these are higher maintenance costs. What about the heating cistern?

It will be a fairly expensive exercise to move them as theres a few pipes involved.
