I literally called my mate last night about this. Have not touched an unvented in ages. And now I have been to 4 in the last week. All Miles apart from each other. Whilst I have you all, went to this yesterday. There is a whole world of issues but not sure about this one? Vaillant unvented 260L cylinder on an EcoTec plus 837 combi and the expansion tank is piped straight into the inlet control valve. If I remember correctly this shouldn’t be like that, but a second opinion would be good.

Expansion has to be between the inlet valve and cylinder..
 
That’s what my understand is but I’m sure i have seen somewhere that on the Vaillant’s they set up differently. But waiting for Vaillant to email instructions out.
 
It can be piped into the control block / manifold but it needs to be in the right port eg the expansion one and not the balanced cold
 
Remember when Jay used to sweat about simple things. My my look at him now!

Haha I know mate.. how funny!! Who’d have thought the guy who’d pooh his pants over nothing is now doing stuff like this! I wouldn’t be here without you guys, you’re my lifeline!!!!
 
Ex vessels were always piped out of the inlet control set , but as the years have gone by , tee-ing into cold feed is the done thing
 
Not bad for your first one bud few errors but overall a tidy job your gonna struggle lagging your pipework ,next time space your pipes off the wall a bit and a little further apart . cheers kop

What errors can you see kop? Other than the discharge which I sorted today.
 
Out of curiosity, roughly what would you guys charge (labour only) to fit a system like this.. all new heating and cold/hot water pipework throughout, 10 rads, boiler/cylinder and all controls and new gas run, about 16 meters.
 
Just under 150 a day for London jay is too cheap

Would say min £300 for a day in London area but I can't say as I don't do anything / price for anything there
