plumber has said that the only thing the loft water tank is feeding is
the cold water for the bathroom sink as I have a combi boiler (mains feed)
So, he is going to bypass the loft water tank and make it obsolete.
Does this sound the correct thing to do?


It is normal for mains to feed a wash basin.

The removal of the tank and its supply can only make your system more
reliable.


However I've just had to turn the water off and its very handy to
still have the toilet flush refill and a basin to wash my hands.

Plus, see other thread, my tap washers on the low pressure feeds are
fine.
