is it possible to zone upstairs/downstairs

[Best]

I don’t think the OP is using a plumber.
Normally getting an experienced solid fuel installer in, - they would ultimately decide how to pipe and link up the two boilers.
I know I would.

I can guarantee that I'm getting a plumber in. Do you think I'd put my family's life at risk for the sake of saving a few quid, not a chance! I'm well capable of piping out a full home but when it comes to stoves and burners, I would get a plumber in.

Well You've been talking to some real feckwits then.

Can you tell me why.

SimonG I think he means connect the stove pipework in copper and do connections in hot press and the existing pipework after the cylinder sounds like the rads are fed in qaulpex that's what I make of it but if he has a plumber doing the work he should be able to answer all this for him

Yes, that's what I said above. All pipe work from stove to cylinder will be in copper and leaving the cylinder in copper for 2meters then all pipes to rads in plastic. All pipewpipe leaving the oil burner is in copper for 2m also.

Still haven't answered how you are connecting the two systems.

Well you are not capable, otherwise you wouldn't be on a forum asking bow to create zones.

Plastic pipes can still be damaged with excessively hot water, even if first few metres are done in copper.
If you can pipe a house easily, then you can pipe a stove link up fairly easily IF you know a safe and correct method.
If you are getting a plumber in, then just let them get on with it if they are experienced in solid fuel link ups.
But if your plumber is dithering on how to do any of it, then just get somebody else

Any chance you read the thread. I came here asking about zoning. I know I could pipe a stove but I wouldn't do it in case there's something I missed and the fact, it's illegal. The plumber isn't dithering, it's getting done in stages because I don't need the stove on untill winter.
