Apologies Chris. :( I didn't realise that I hadn't mentioned when we spoke with the original plumber he assured us he had already checked that the flow from both sides was fine. What is the right type of tvr? Yeldua

Sorry my promised follow up is so long delayed. Not able to get the original plumber back we finally called in another. He diagnosed the problem as the very limited flow caused by the thermostat/tvr. He removed the thermostat and changed the valve. It's a bit of a blow that we've had to lose...
