Not sure on the model, but here are some pictures...

Eek... Cheers Danny, I think this was the one I meant! Looks spot on to me! http://www.plumbnation.co.uk/site/gledhill-fortic-f1-combination-vented-copper-hot-water-cylinders---direct/

Lads, is this what I am after?! :D http://m.screwfix.com/p/direct-stainless-steel-cylinder-815-x-450mm/99021

I have two lengths of four by two set into the walls which I was hoping to utilise. It seems that 900 is the smallest height you can get for the copper tanks though... :(
