You need that kinda **** installed so you can draw down free money from .gov for solar, heat source, insulation grants
I would just like to say

Could that be a expansion going in from your back boiler would also explain the deformation of the tank with the verry hot water ? Sounds like back pressure I'm no plumber either just years running building projects and watching and ass kicking

You need to relieve yourself into the bigger tank in the first instance.
It's just tradition.

Should be a plastic box section between the rafters to the tile under lay and insulation buttered up to that so no cold bridges

Which is more or less what I said, for exactly the same reason! He's already said that the tanks are insulated, which must mean top and sides, at least the useless, or lazy insulator got that right!!

Would you be looking to move in there, or do it up and flip it?No you can not stand up, we were having a chat earlier about lowering the ceiling & putting a dorma round the back of the roof.
She's told me that one of our neebs houses might be coming up for sale in the new year & I said if it ever came up for sale id like
to buy it. Its been in the same family as far back as I can find, needs ripped apart....only got a coal fire which is open. single glazed
sash n case windows & the interior would do well on antiques road showIts been empty for over a year cause the old lady
is now in a home. She would have got back home but didnt want carers in the house so shes been papped into a nursing home.

I once owned a "chalet style" semi. the loft insulation was a total joke, the water tank was in fact two tanks either side of the loft hatch so to get through to the rest of the roof all I had was two small triangular holes. I got the council to pay for insulation via a grant so it was fibreglass rolls which I had to somehow shove through these triangles then squeeze myself through.Really why not just do them properly
I did wonder why top off the roof was frosty & the lower wasnt, I knew I was loosing some heat no wonder.
There must be thousands of homes done the same way. Boils my blood that does.
Being "chalet style" there were flat roofs over the dormer style windows with no way of insulating them unless I made a tool. so I made a thing like a rake with nails sticking out to stick in the insulation and push it out into the thin space above the dormers. It sort of worked but obviously still wasn't very thick.
At one point scrambling through the triangle for the umpteenth time, itching like heck with the fibreglass I got a bit upset and wriggled too hard, busting the ceiling on the triangle, so "making good " had to take place.
No fun at all so I massively symapthise with you, mate!

Better off insulating right up to the edges then putting in airbricks on the end walls under the gables.

Now you are asking!! I have no idea and never looked!!
I would imagine, tbh that they'd air dry stuff in the capacious basement that so many of them have. but I'll do a bit of research.
Great question!
Right!
a "tuyé" is what was often used, but that produces smoked hams and sausages.

I wonder if the coil is split in the hot water cyl , as that will cause water to raise on the header tank if the main tank is higher than the header tank
or in other instances if a header tank vent pipe is overflowing that will be a cold feed blockage where it enters the system , due to when hot and cold mix it causes a restriction
indeed ref the smaller tank , or known as a F and E tank, ie feed and expansion tank will be for the heating
hope that’s what ur saying and makes sense , lol

really feel for u mate as indeed horrible job when the loft is blocked with 2 x tanks and a nightmare to insulate the loft due to lake of access
useto hate doing fiberglass particularly in the summer and going home itching like hell , when I fitted tanks would always specify the coffin cold water tanks, would pre insulate them making life a lot easier
indeed also useto see many cold water tanks have insulation underneath them, end up in a mess trying to pull all of it out underneath , then getting the bylaw 30 x screen kits fitted in 100 plus degrees , coming out the loft for a breather
