Hi,we have the usual set up with the hot water cylinder in the airing cupboard,which is taking up a corner of the bathroom .We intend to gut the bathroom and we want to get rid of the cupboard .What is the best thing to do,move the cylinder ,the only place it could go would be the loft,or get rid of the cylinder and get a new boiler that will do the lot? Thanks

Ted I assume that you didn't get an earlier reply as this question is goverened by many factors, not least of all, your own decision.
When you mention a 'boiler that does the lot', I assume you mean a condensing combination boiler which provides both central heating and hot water without the need for bulky tanks and cylinders.
Firstly you have to make sure that your water supply is up to the job....
and
How many people live in the property...?
How many bathrooms, shower rooms/ en suites in the property...?
Is it likely that more than one hot tap will be used at any given time...?
Combi's no matter how small or large their output can only manage one tap at a time...! Realistically...!
If on the other hand you rejig your current system, it will work aswell as it does now if not slightly better on the h/w pressure, although as with everything in life there will be issues to overcome, which a competent plumber will advise you on.
Would certainly be the cheapest option, especially if there is nothing wrong with the current boiler.
Hope this helps....

thanks gary there is only two of us in a four bed detatched but it sounds as though it would be better to get the tank moved and keep the old boiler , cost wasn't really a problem we just want the best option so we can get a bigger bathroom, thanks
