Weird boiler setup in house

[Luke1976]

do we need the combi boiler in the kitchen, or can we just get a water heater for the hot water cylinder?

Depends what that supplies do you have a bath in the loft ?

 

[Luke1976]

no - just a shower in the loft and a bath & shower in the room directly beneath the loft

 

[ShaunCorbs]

TBH I would get rid of the combi and move all the kit downstairs acceptable to you maybe upgrade the cylinder l depending on existing size etc

The boiler will be heating your radiators and hit water. What will provide heat if you get rid of it!

I think you are confusing yourself

Any chance of a pic of said secondary boiler ?

I think there is only one boiler.
The glow worm is a Combi used as a system boiler.

Maybe but doesn't the gloworm have heating temp adjustment? Just hoteater ?

So is it theoretically possible just to move the kit from the loft down to the kitchen next to the combi boiler? (this is moving the stelflow and pump - not sure why we need the hot water cylinder). It just seems an awful lot of gear for a house with two showers. My parents have a larger house with more bathrooms and radiators and i think they just have a megaflow in a utility room somewhere?

You would need a big cupboard to put it in.
Your parents might not have poor incoming pressure and flow
