Thanks for the replies again, apart from the t*t who decided to vent his spleen at someone else - not helpful.
Keeping it where it is is a possibility but:
* The bathroom and kitchen are at the back of the house (the cellar is only under the front and not the back half) and the very long run from the cellar to the kitchen etc means you have to fill a full sink before the hot comes through.
* We'd need to build up the flue height so we'd have a boxed in section to make up the rest of the 300mm clearance, cutting footprint out of an already small livingroom.
* The only run for a condensate pipe would be up through the livingroom, the front bedroom and across the whole house, or diagonally up the underside of the stairs, making a hell of a mess pretty much everywhere. Missus none too keen!
Hopefully UU will come up with great news about the pressure being too low in the area (a new block of flats was built adjacent and b*ggered the water pressure up for everyone), so no doubt I'll be back after that to ask for more advice. Thanks folks!
