Having read through the other posts (no one's drivelling IMHO) and your

It seems that BG are doing two things which I had not realized.

1) They are not going to a sealed system - they are obviously concerned
about the state of the pipework in the concrete floor. They are being
cautious; if and only if the existing pipework is working correctly and
never pumps over and never entrains air then I think on balance they are
right. Without seeing the job it's hard to balance the risks.

2) They are _illegally_ not intending to upgrade the water cylinder this
is in contravention of the Building Regs. ISTM that the quotation
operative from BG is not up top speed on the current regs.
