Just a thought, are you absolutely dead set on losing the DHW cylinder? My Mum bought a renovated house where they had done this and the mains water pressure is so bad that she now just has a dribble out of her shower. She really regrets the fact the builder ripped out the DHW cylinder.
I have also stayed in numerous properties over the years that had combi-boilers and the systems just don't seem as good, i.e. having a shower when someone flushes a loo in the downstairs WC and the pressure drops or temp rises, then you're fiddle-4rsing around with the controls going "ow ow ow", then the WC finishes filling, the pressure returns and you end up freezing your nads off, more fiddling and swearing. Just a bl00dy PITA if you ask me, so if you get a chance to keep the cylinder I would!
Just my own personal experience, I'm sure they're fine if correctly installed, or the water pressure is sufficient.
Why would you let a 'builder' rip out a cylinder?
