would the boiler need at least 15mm pipe work or is microbore ok?

the initial pipe run to and from the boiler will be in 22mm pipe with only the last few meters being in 10mm this will also apply if you use 15mm pipe for the final run to the radiators
check the boiler manual it should give you some details as to the maximum run of 10mm pipe you can use to each radiator

The microbore piping does not connect directly to the boiler, that's in standard 22mm. The 22mm feeds at least one manifold, usually one for each floor, and the microbore connects to that. Shouldn't be a problem with a combi. Most underfloor heating is essentially microbore.

Not an expert at all, but my husband has just installed a new boiler and radiators in my house and I am sure that he has used 22mm pipes for the boiler and 15mm to the rads.

you are surely not thinking of using directly from boiler? no way system requires a circulation of sufficient volume to work central heating side .domestic side you can run off smaller but why? to slow a run off will cause intermittent ignition , as supply diaphragm would fluctuate so slowly as not to call for demand from boiler .
