Running a tap with the shower was more of a question, than a requirement - but thanks for the suggestion.
If it's unlikely you can shower and run a tap (with anything less than a 40kW Combi), what I'm struggling to determine is what rate of flow I need (I guess the most important thing is keeping the flow to my shower as close to how it is now).
Of the 4 different engineers I've had round, they've suggested 28, 30, 34 and 36 kW (Hot Water rate) combi boilers!
But what's the difference between each in real-life usage. The engineer recommending the 28 was confident that it would supply enough hot water for the shower (as it is now).
How are you supposed to come to an informed decision based on the kW or l/min ratings?
Is that aimed at my lack of knowledge, or the Engineer recommending a 28?
I though it seemed a little harsh!!!One of the engineers above is a known WB hater, I was laughing at his comment
I'm pretty much decided on WB (as I can't face starting this process again!)
what I'm really looking for is getting the right boiler for my needs,

In nearly every one of those metrics, wb come looooowwww on my list. Yes they have good warranty support, but that is more because they need itWell from an engineers perspective I would be looking at your heat loss, incoming water performance, installation issues like cupboard size/location, if I need to upward pipe, will the gas pipe need upgrading and how possible that is, if converting to high pressure from low will the pipe work Cole with the added stesss, in accessible pipes in screed for instance would be a concern ( Intergas can run open vent)
In choosing the boiler I would then be looking at reliability, design and material of the heat exchanger, some are more resistant to system issues than others, I would be trying to give you max performance from your incoming main, What controls can I fit to make the boiler more efficient like Opentherm
What kind of support and warranty can expect from the manufacture
Then I would be asking your expectations on performance and costs and try to wiggle the job to suite

WB are not as bad as all that though just may be not as strong in some areas
