New combi has lower pressure than old one....

You should have 8.6 l/min of hot water raised by 40 degrees Celsius. with a 15% margin for error.

Sounds like the installation is only partly to blame and that I should have got a boiler with a higher flow rate. Disappointing, as the single criteria I mentioned was "must give me a good shower...."

Then you have been supplied with a product that does not match your stated requirements.

Hence the need for us to have Professional Indemnity insurance

Thanks. I've paid for the boiler so will try to get him to replace it with a Worcester 37. Is this a good boiler/strong shower?

Will aim to pay him the difference between the two but no more. So project will still come in on budget (excepting the extra £150/200 difference between the boilers......).

Means he will have to work a day at his own cost but then it has been three days of disruption on our side - about to be four....

Good luck with that

All sorted. He did a full assessment and spotted a split in in the shower hose. Bizarre really.

Thanks for the help and advice I've learned a lot and will pass it on.
