Thanks for your comments so far The randall-danfloss controller looks like it could be the answer The kitchen part of the kitchen diner will be just under 20sq/m without any cupboards/appliance etc. With units appliances etc it would be around 12sq/m of floor that could be walked on - Why...

Hi my potterton works fine on HW. But when i put the CH thermostat up high and the system is cold the boiler pilot lights for a few seconds and then goes off for a couple and then back on for a few seconds and so on.
