May I ask which high-pressure combi boiler you went for?
I'm about to replace our ancient system boiler with a combi (Victorian house way too leaky for heat pump right now...).
ectoplasmosis-
Baxi / main stuff is really good.

It’s a Vaillant ecoFIT pure 830 which was the recommendation from the plumber for a three-bed (two reasonable, one tiny) detached house built in the early 80s.
Gets good reviews from what I’ve seen too, it replaces a very aging Potterton Suprima which we knew would need to be swapped out at some point in the near future anyway.
Edit: just spotted your reply above…we’ve also got eight rads and one bathroom, in case that’s helpful.

Old gravity-fed boiler system swapped out for new (higher pressured) combi...on firing up to test we ended up with an indoor water feature around the uncovered pipework - there's a leak in the what appear to be unprotected pipes under the concrete somewhere so we're going for a full uncover/replace in the front room as I type.
Fortunately we changed our mind and swapped the boiler over seven weeks after moving in and before redoing floors and redecorating rather than a year or two down the line after doing everything else as we had intended to...that would have been a real p*sser, and the best thing to think about as the noise of drilling rattles round the house!
