A new boiler suitable for running a really good shower.

How do you know a combi will suit gillb when he hasn't done the bucket test yet?

Common sense will tell you that adequate water pressure and flow is an automatic prerequisite for a mains pressure system.

In a small terraced house the combi is the only real choice. Cylinders is a real daft idea.

I don't see common sense in what you wrote before, then

I can't comment on your literate skills

Thanks to you all - fabulous suggestions for which boilers to try and I'm definitely thinking combi if possible as it would be good to get the extra cupboard space in the bedroom (where the tank currently is). I now feel in a position to have a conversation with my plumber about whether the gas pipe is appropriate (or whatever that point was further up the strand), and to fill my buckets!!

Thanks everyone for your help.

The main point is the water flow and pressure. Running a 28mm pipe from the meters is not a problem. Put in a good combi and you will be delighted.

Showing your ignorance again Dr Drivel. Broag don't make a 30C, only a 28C, 35C, 39C. For someone who maintains that they know all about Broags a very stupid mistake

And there was me thinking you could at least google web sites properly to get your usually wrong answers
