    Which fluid

    does seem strange to have the Rehau wiring centre for the UFH and then only have 1 zone on it. If it was only ever going to be set-up to all come on at the same time they could have done it without that expensive wiring centre and done it with a 10 way terminal block wiring centre.

    Lockshield Valve Key

    depends on the make of lockshield surely though as a lot are different, a lot of the time you can use a head of a manual wheel head valves though, perhaps keep a selection instead of scrapping them.

    concealed toilet cistern and frame

    sorry, should have read your post in a bit more detail, but would still be handy to know what make and model it is

    concealed toilet cistern and frame

    what make is it, there designed so everything can be changed though the square flush plate once removed. P.s its not a grohe one is it...rapid sl? as they have a brass isolation valve inside the cistern you undo with a flat headed screwdriver and they come closed from the factory.

    Knipex

    Ive got the 180mm and the 250's, i now use the 180mm ones all the time, great for 15 and 22. The 250mm ones i rarely use, feel a bit awkward on 15mm stuff, fair bit heavier than equivalant size bahco spanner or cobras.

    Why twin oil boilers in church central heating

    also having 2x domestic boilers cascaded together rather than 1x commercial boiler means spares are easier to get hold of plus more chance of a heating engineer knowing what there working on... good luck and godspeed

    3 port valve problems

    The return on the cylinder should be the last tee before it goes back to boiler to avoid reverse circulation when just DHW is called for. I hope the cylinder is vented and not unvented if its coming off that 3 port valve...post some pictures up if you want.
