Not getting on the Worcester slagging band wagon, but are you sure that a 25KW boiler will be suitable for your HW requirements
My thoughts aswell 25kw might be a tad small

I had missed the 25Kw part, and I agree with Ian, there is rarely a good reason for fitting one, IMO.
As an aside, why are you changing from storage to combi? Is the infrastructure in good order? Do you need to save space?. If the cylinder and pump etc, is fine (and cylinder well insulated - what colour is it?) then it is cheaper to do a straight swap - and is often a better solution. WE have a large bungalow, with 2 of us. She has a bath daily, I prefer a shower (off the cylinder) We have it running for 2 hours a day only, timed before returning from work, to avoid cycling, and we never run out of hot water. Even when my son visits (showers) for the weekend)
TBF, I am a bit wary of making comments like this, because it will encourage Bernie - whom I am surprised has not started one of his ant combi rants yet.
Also if you're wanting a Worcester boiler then that's not cheap to start with.
however, I can't help but think back to the skin stripping power of that thermostatic shower with such longing.
Yes, in a 1person 1 room bedsit according to you...You come across as VERY anti combi.am not ant combi, they have their place

You can get that with a shower pump.
Couldn’t you have your existing system converted to sealed/unvented?
I am not ant combi,
if I would rant it would be against the installers who sell combi's to customers when a combi is not the best solution for the customer's requirement but is a quick profit for the installer
That’s what we had done. Unvented involves a new hot water storage cylinder and you do away with the cold water storage tank. Advantage is that you still have stored hot water but it will be at near mains pressure. You keep your conventional heat-only boiler.Sorry, I don't know what that would involve.
after they have been quoted for one from a leading blue chip well known uk company.
So if we removed the electric shower, installed hot and cold pipework to a thermostatic shower and fitted a pump, we could have still have decent pressure with a conventional system? Not considered that option.
