so do you keep your boiler and hot water cylinder?

how would you do that?

but what if we change to a combi in say 5 years

We want to renovate our small ensuite and downstairs toilet. We also have a bathroom and like a bath now and again but won’t be changing that. We have a conventional boiler with tanks in the loft. Our boiler and hot water supply is great so don’t really want to change them just now, however...

I remember coming home one day when my new kitchen was being fitted 5 years ago and the plumber was up in the loft. When I queried this I was told it was due to having tanks in the loft but surely there would have been no need to do that as the hot water comes from the cylinder in the airing...
