I am about to embark on an extension. At the end of this project I will have (downstairs) sitting room, large living / dining room, kitchen, utility room and cloakroom toilet. (upstairs) I will have 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms with bath and showers fitted.
Looking for the best system for this house. Obviously, require instant hot water but realise that combi boiler (condensing obviously) will be enough to supply hot water to taps downstairs etc, so any solutions out there I am willing to listen. Sensible answers only please (for once)

A highflow 440 will not run these baths and showers, and downstairs, if you want to be able (not necessarily need to) to run two baths simultaneously, and run a tap downstairs, go for a heat only boiler, i would suggest Worcester Bosch 40cdi conventional, with a 240 litres stainless steel cylinder (megaflow, or equivalent), or a 300 litre if considering solar, you would be wise to use this as a sealed mains pressure system, for which you will need expansion vessels. alternatively, if you will not run 2 baths simultaneously, the 42 cdi combi is adequate. Use a WB approved installer to get maximum (5 years guarantee) and excellent back up.

I suggest you have a look at the Worcester Greenstar 440 Highflow. Great boiler, it's a floor mounted combi, and produces 20 litres per minute of hot water at 35 degree temperature rise which should be more than adequate for your needs. And it will definitely be able to handle all your radiators.
As with all the Worcester Greenstars you can also get plug-in programmers with infrared room thermostats, or even infrared programmable room stats which are very easy to install and save on having to run wires to stats which you must install now to meet the energy and efficiency standards.
This boiler is a great bit of kit and can work out considerably cheaper than the other option which is installing an Unvented Hot water cylinder.
I'm a Heating Engineer and both my business partner and I try ALWAYS to install Worcester Products (unless the customer insists on something else) as we genuinely believe they are by far the best. You may pay a bit more for their boilers but you certainly get what you pay for!!!

a sensible question would have included how many people will live in this house like how many people will be in bathrooms at the same time ..if two bathrooms are to be used at the same time then go for the normal type system with an immersion cylinder ..get a Worcester boiler ..you can go for pressurised combi systems but a lot depends on how much you want to spend

not sure what ur objective is but it sounds like u r trying to get hot water to ur fixtures instantly if im right ask ur plumber about installing a recirculating hot water line. regardless of what ur hot water source is, u will need a recirculating line. hope this helps you if not sry for wasting your time
