I need to replace my combi which is a WB greenstar 28i junior. We have a standard semi with a loft extension and the heating works great but filling a bath in the winter is a pain - fiddling with taps to get the hot water out. Is this a flow rate issue? I've read it's best to match a boiler with your flow rate but my flow rate from taps is 16-17l and any boilers this high are far too high kw for my house? The boiler was installed in 2007 so could it just be because it's old or should I buy a higher flow rate model? Thoughts greatly appreciated.

Hi, just wondering if anyone has had a similar issue to me re a neighbour's extension. I would like to add a lean to on the side of my house however my NB extension was built on the boundary. I understand I can request permission to come off her wall under the party wall act but am concerned about potential for damage and costs etc and not sure where I stand legally and weather to just not bother. I'll list a few facts: We bought the house 6 years ago with this extension in place. Their extension was built in 1995 by the houses previous owners Plans show it was supposed to be built up to boundary so don't know how it was signed off. Their roof and guttering hang about 1ft into my garden. We knew this but decided we loved the house enough to overcome any issues. So, should I ask to come off her wall or ditch the idea? The side is not massive so if I have to come in 1m from her wall it's not really worth it. All thoughts gratefully received
