Wouldn't let an open vented boiler anywhere near my house.
I only install system boiler sealed systems.
You can still heat an open vented hot water tank with it.
Just means the central heating system is sealed.

I used to have open vented boiler and open vented hot water.
Converted to seal system and unvented cylinder.
Certainly wouldn't go back and would convert
any other place to same. System is so much better. Provided you
have good mains flow for unvented cylinder.

Have you been living in a cave? That's not how it's done any more. These days after gathering scraps of knowledge from forums like this, the 'informed' punter buys the goods then touts the labour around for us to beat each other to the lowest price.
Whilst you all add value to my posts and for that I am grateful, I am quite new to these forums but a long standing member of other subject forums. Some of these assumptions are simply incorrect.
I have had gas registered installers advice me, but l think it is also sensible to verify any information you receive. Especially seen as a lot of installers tend to push the easier option for THEM and not really the right one for the customer.
For info - I always request supply and fit quotes but request a breakdown of parts and labour
I will await the latest quote for a OV cylinder and see what boiler is recommended I think it wil be wthe WB or Vallaint OV models as thats what we discussed, but I will suggest using a system boiler if that is a better option with a open vented cylinder.
The reason for sticking with OV is that my plumber spent a lot of time with me testing our mains and its averaging about 22/L min with 6 bar pressure whicvh he said is good. But in terms of flow he said with an unvented it still is on mains so it will divide the 22 when 2 taps are opened.
If your plumber has invested his free time with you and given good advice, I don't see what further use this forum would be.
At least you KNOW your chap is a tradesman, which is more than can be said for some of participants here.

You still dont seem to have appreciated the relevance of OV systems and cylinders.
If the dynamic flow was really 22 li/min @ 6 Bar then that is very good indeed. But I dont believe it.
I should also point out that most of the installers here would not give you a break down of labour and materials because its pointless. But what benefit do you think it gives you?
For example which of these three would you choose?
Boiler £1230 Installation £630
Boiler £1195 Installation £665
Boiler £1268 Installation £592
Thank for your advice, to best honest the only advice I am after is
the best type of boilers if I am to stock with a OV.
What is it that I dont understand? Thats why I am on this forum asking questions.
Please enlighten me.
I wont digress by further discussing the quotation options.

With regards to your latter comment, a very good point. I guess I've always been one to double check things!
