It could only happen to us Boiler has shut down E110 I think

The obvious move is a combi in the attic as you wont have to climb loft ladders to get to it. It's your concrete floors that are the limiting factor. If you don't want want a combi (why wouldn't you) you could remove the expansion tank and fit a pressure vessel fill loop combination then you could use a standard heat only boiler (limited types available and pointless). Or you could use a heat only system boiler which is basically a combi without the hot water facility. The far easiest is the combi in the attic though. Gets rid of the cylinder and header tanks altogether and makes the fitment way easier. Plus any replacement later on are an easy combi swap. Most of your pipes will already be in the attic due to the concrete floors downstairs. You may need to re-run the gas supply in 22mm and install a drain.

You could fit an Intergas Combi using the tank fed system. That would mitigate the mains pressure issue, which with the concrete floors is definitely a risk factor. We haven’t personally fitted one ourselves but I know other installers have used them in the same circumstances and have really rated them. My business partner is currently in the process of moving house and is seriously considering doing the same. If I’m honest I always dismissed the intergas boilers but having received some really positive feedback I would definitely consider them in the right circumstances, they are very different to a conventional Combi with very few mechanical parts to go wrong. So no personal experience to draw upon but might be worth some research?

I had a talk with the Intergas sales rep at a demonstration at our suppliers recently and they do look impressive. Never fitted one myself though. Location could still be the big issue.

Never heard of an Intergas Combi, I will do some research.
The main reason I kept a hot water tank was so I did not have to rely on the boiler for HW. At least on the days when the boiler has been out of action we could use the immersion.

Ted I'm currently in the middle of renovating my uncles bungalow and he's in the process of replacing an almost new fitted in November baxi 400 heat only boiler for a combi. I can find out what he wants for it if you're interested?
I to live in a dorma bungalow and recently replaced an old crane caviller for a baxi 800 relocated to the loft. A modern combi takes up next to no room.
I think my crane boiler was funding Putin's war effort.
