Overall though, I still have a problem in that I don't think I have the

where I need to install it. If I could find a way to raise the header
tank I'd be in business. How much above the boiler could I get away
with?

A normal 14 plate job will do the heating side. Do a Google on this group for GEA, Ecobraze. You need a heating boiler. Try the Glow Worm condenser. They do one around 27-30kW. A basic open vented boiler. Worcester Bosch Greenstar do a similar. You will have to check the makers specs for the head, which is usually a matter of inches. You can detach the header tank from the Boilermate, so this can easily go up near the ceiling.
If you need a new thermal store try the Gledhill Systemate, using a modulating heating boiler; it comes with the pressure vessel. This will do the job with the heating being run directly. Gledhill thermal stores, and many cylidners, are all now in nice square neat cases that don't have exposed pipes and look like a boiler house, and are heavily insulated. They have the optional electric backup which will also provide heating as well as DHW if the boiler is down. Not cheap but a class quality act. I have one.
