Thanks guys for all the replies. No, I can't think of a reason why an unvented cylinder would not fit the bill. It's just that I don't have any experience with these. I like the look of the following diagram (from the Building Regs), which is sort of an intermediate system (unvented DHW and...

None actually. My house (recent purchase) is currently undergoing a major refurbishment.

Yes, I would like hot water pretty much instantly available at the taps. I was thinking a schematic something like in the attached diagram below. Can the circulation run in convection? Great! Which brands have that? Merry Christmas.

The only thing I don't like about combi's is latency. It takes about a minute for the hot water to arrive and another half-a-minute for the temperature to stabilize. This is the reason why I've been thinking about other types like conventional open-vented or thermal stores with PHE but from...

I don't know. Maybe screws?

OK, thanks.

No. A fluorescent light used to be there.

Here is a photo I've taken today: The board seems to be brown on the outside and white inside.

Might as well while the house is undergoing a major refurbishment. Anyway, I wouldn't want to live in a house with asbestos.

OK thanks. Sorry for not saying earlier but I'm not sure if the boarding is made from plaster. I think it might be some sort of fibre cement, I'll double check.

I recently purchased an old property (built in circa 1880). The original ceiling of lath & lime plaster is still there in all rooms but unfortunately they've been overboarded by white plasterboard. I understand that gypsum is pink, so does white plasterboard mean asbestos? I have a strange...

You mean DTC (Distribution tempering control) like this one? http://www.altecnic.co.uk/plumbing-heating/thermostatic-mixing-valves/3b/ :)

Hey echoes, Would an thermostatic mixing valve be something like this? https://www.screwfix.com/p/pegler-p402-tmv-22mm/60528?tc=BB9&ds_rl=1249799&ds_rl=1245250&ds_rl=1249481&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI9ZbbhaeF2AIVhZztCh2YuQ4gEAYYBCABEgLOwvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds&dclid=CLPZxK-ohdgCFVGeGwodlB0PQA

Interesting. And what now?

Thanks. I'll bear that in mind. However, there's probably no point in changing an old boiler for a new one. Here is a good article: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/lifestyle/interiors/renovating/9791140/Do-I-need-to-install-a-new-boiler.html

Thanks for the suggestions. Yes new old stock. I have bought about 3 or 4 from ebay before. Regards.

Probably yes.
