Yes, my boiler itself is on a level with bathroom, first floor, over staircase. No options to move it from there due to other regulations, need for vent etc. House is officially 3 bed but one is in extension, not in regular use, one is my study. Just one person living here so I don't use loads...

Hi, Sorry I don't have the expertise to answer all these important questions. But the discussion will help me know what to ask a plumber.
