Something that is always over looked on these installs is if the dhw draw off from the combi is to a frequency used hot tap, the boiler sits in anti cycle for 5 mins every time the flow turbine moves, meaning it can take hours to heat the cylinder.
As requested, Pictures from the cylinder. Seems the hot feed from the top of the cylinder is branched off - 1. Specifically to the upstairs bathrooms x 2 (1st floor and loft).
2. The rest of the house
It's about appropriateness. If that space get s down around freezing then it needs better protection.
If however it's to protect against rodents, then that works brilliantly as they don't like the fibrous nature of it and leave it alone... Instead they use the polyplumb elbows to sharpen their teeth

I am surprised if MIs state just 28 minutes for that cylinder reheat.??? I would have thought it is much more.
The hot water outlet on unvented cylinders I prefer to drop the pipe before ever raising the pipe to a higher level. Just raising a hot outlet will mean some of the stored heat from the cylinder will keep heating the water in the raised pipe, therefore wasting energy.

30kw WB gas boiler. It is my partners house, so something I am aware of. Pipework all mine, except the gas, so no bother there.
I need to investigate it more.

Its the boiler flow temp that OSO quote at 80 degs. Most boilers closer to 70 so recovery rate way longer than stated depending on coil design (ability to transfer heat).

apologies for my ignorance, I am not technical at all.
My understanding was once the cylinder is heated up, the outlets would draw the hot water from the cylinder and not the boiler anymore...?
