moving the cylinder into the roof possible?

[ghost32]

Hi,
I have a 3 bed end of semi with a tiny bathroom upstairs, missus wants to re kit it out but to be honest it'll be pointless with the space we have

if you see the rubbish diagram, we have a back boiler down stairs that feeds the cylinder that's taking up a nice piece of space right next to the bathroom.

my question is how easy ( time/money etc etc ) would it bee to move this straight up into the loft, knocking the partition walls down giving us the extra space to make the bathroom useable,
because no gas is involved could I and my father in law do this (i have changed a dirverter valve in a combi boiler and installed radiators etc)

any advice is greatly appreciated

Why not put in a QUALITY combi as your system will probably be gravity fed

You can move the cylinder into the loft, but you would also have to raise the storage tank, so that it remains above the cylinder, this will depend on the size of your loft and yes you and your father-in-law can do the work if you so wish.

I thought combi boilers were only good if you have 1 person in the house..?

There's 3 of us in ours, 4 at weekends. Combi does us fine. I think you may be confusing 1 person with 1 bathroom.

Naughty ghost32 has asked much the same questions in two threads.

Don't waste your fingers, people.
