More or.less echoing the others. You're system is still pretty common. The boiler heats water, depending on what the digital display below the boiler is asking for determines where that hot water goes. Central heating? It leaves boiler goes through your grundfos selector then through your Siemens actuator and then to your radiators. Hot water? Same process but goes to the cylinder in your airing cupboard. When you use hot water or flush a toilet the water comes from the big tank in your loft. If the hammer is then, clip pipes, if it still happens replace the ball valve inside that big tank. Of it happens when you run you cold tap in the kitchen though it is .pat likely a problem with you main stop tap (stopcock) ehich is 'normally' and old fashioned looking brass tap under the kitchen sink. As far as the shower pump goes, I have used salamander and they have always been good too. Often a cheaper option as that boiler may well not have a huge amount of time left before it needs to go to live on a special farm for old boilers!

If you've only just moved I I would suggest getting a gas safe engineer (lots of people still know us as corgi registered) and get your boiler serviced and ask them to have a look around your system to check it over and show you about.
 
Or could fit an unvented cylinder dependant upon pressures and flows.
That's a good shout as that would mean new boiler would hopefully be a fairly inexpensive replay cement when due and would give you great pressure on hot straight away. Just be sure the engineer is G3 qualifies and get them to have a glance over the system first as often older toilets and taps can't cope with the increase in pressure.
 
We would be happy to help you to identify which shower pump would be required for this job, we can also give you the contact details for plumbers in your area who can install the pump for you. Please give our technical team a call on 0191 516 2002.
