A possibility DP. Hard to judge without seeing the system. From the limited info we have my money is still on a blocked cold feed. Off Topic, are you the infamous mr puller from the old screw fix forums? WhereInSussex hope you get it sorted, could you please update us on the cause when it's...

Yes possibly even 32mm. Again an installer will be a better judge having assessed the property and needs required.

For multiple outlets being used at the same time a combi Is not going to cut it. Even the bigger combis with the added storage tanks such as the Vaillant Ecotec plus 937 will struggle with two outlets opened at the same time. I would be looking at sticking in a condensing system boiler with an...

061707 for the air vent. 014675 for the fill block.

Yes they come in a pack specifically for Worcesters. The sender unit that plugs in to the front of the boiler and the programmable stat receives it's signal from this. Really simple to fit.

No worries. This is the tool you want: http://www.screwfix.com/p/no-nonsense-smoothing-tools-straight-joints/92313

Vaillant Ecotec plus 824 would be my choice. Heating can be rated down on these to suit the heat requirements. Get an RGI in to size the house properly though as those online calculators are not the most accurate tools.

No sorry mate beneath the laminate? Solid floor or floorboards?

Sealant without a doubt. The sealant tape looks awful. Run a bead across gap and wipe it with a tool called a fugenboy. There about a fiver from a plumbers merchant. Don't worry about taping it. The tool will give a near perfect, pro finish. Best sealant is dow cornering.

House or flat? How many bathrooms? Don't waste your money on a Worcester. Plastic crap that's a pig to work on. Plenty of other boilers out there. Ideal logic + comes with a 7 year warranty, as do the Vaillant Ecotec Plus range if fitted by a Vaillant Advance installer. The ideals are good. Not...

OP mentioned the flow was to hot to touch, boiler is overheating due to lack of circulation. No problems with the boiler. Either pump, motorised valve or a blockage. Previous plumber to attend ruled out pump, and I'm assuming motorised valve. He also mentioned a magnet stuck to pipe work...

Solid floors or boards?

Pressure rise is likely caused by a bypassing fill block. Common problem. Still happens on the newer models. New fill block required, easy to change and not an expensive job. The air release is a screw on jobbie, cost me about £10 last time I bought one, again a common problem.
