Sounds like the one pipe system has not been modified correctly for the new location, prob more of a tiler than a plumber.
Out of interest as british gas are the experts, what did they recomend as a remedy and how much did they quote?

Is the boiler firing?
Is there a supply to the gas valve?
What type of zone valve and programmer/roomstat do you have and are they calling for heat?

Not enough technical info to advise any more.

Hi the programmer you are looking at seems to be the wrong one for a combi boiler (Could only find the 6400c not s) a twin chanel programmer like this one is for a standard tank type system. You need either a single channel programmer, if you want time only or a better option to be building regs and...

Hi, If I had to guess you have replaced one of the old Swichmaster combined Room Stat / Hot Water controller, is your 3 port or 2 port valves in the airing cupboard blue with Switchmaster on them?
