Access for maintenance is very easy. The closest neighbour’s window is a stairwell, then bathroom and then ~6m away a bedroom.
Shorter flow and return to the cylinder in the loft was a factor, but it’s generally just out of the way up there. I don’t actually hate it looking from the garden either, which is a nice surprise. Might wrap it in vinyl to match the powdercoated windows.
Climbing out of a window or going up a ladder? My experience of getting stuff serviced is that unless the situation is completely normal there's lots of teeth sucking and 'it's gonna cost ya' noises.
I have a lot of experience negotiating with lazy trades (and asking for non-standard complicated things tbf). Lucky in this case the installers will be servicing for five years.
Also from what I gather a HP service is mostly brushing the leaves out of the grill.
