I'm in one of my "why is/was it done this way" moods, and bear in mind I'm not a professional.
In my house is 3 tanks in the loft (heating, all hot water, and cold for shower), boiler in front bedroom and cylinder/pump/valve/controls in back bedroom, on a Y plan.
But why didnt they just put the whole lot in the loft? The loft has a gable end wall for the balanced flue of the old boiler, and has a high enough pitch so that the cylinder could fit under the tanks.
I know the tanks have to be above everything else, but do they need to be a certain distance above the boiler and cylinder? It seems a vast waste of space in a 2 up 2 down to have ever thought about filling so much space in the bedrooms with 2 airing cupboards, and disturbing people's sleep in both rooms too.
