Get a tado or nest stat to control the boiler: geo fencing to tell when you're home or away, set the timing on your phone, boost etc. If you feel like you need it later get some smart TRVs when they're on sale.

Thanks bro, could have said that earlier. Considering we won’t be out the house much, geo fencing seems a bit Ott. What is it btw?

I would have but you just kept talking at me. Geo fencing will be good for the after times. It knows if you're home or not so doesn't just run the heating all day if your at the studio, if you're working from home you're toasty. Never have to remember to turn the heating on or off. Ever.

Brotherly love, lol 😂

We got two Nest zones and the Nest itself is silent, there is a tiny very quiet click from the little box it connects to when things turn on and off, but we only hear it if the cupboard they're in is open. If you get zones though you'll need two port valves.

Honeywell/Corgi ones are nice and quiet and well built, Honeywell slightly better. Our builder used non-Honeywell/Corgi for two in our cellar, one died and was replaced with a Honeywell and the other still works fine but is annoyingly noisy. Any two port valves installed in new house will be Honeywell.

£85 in Screwfix but I got our replacement one new from Ebay for £40.
