You don't need trvs on all rads but as heating engineers we are advice to install trv valves on them however that is called best practice and in reality you can actually put them in main rooms eg bedrooms and main living quarters this is call good practice and meets the energy efficiency criteria hope this helps
You can have a 30kw combi, but if 2 showers are operated at the same time from the combi they may not be hot enough. So you may need an electric shower in that case. Electric showers can get quite involved to fit as they require their own dedicated wire from the fuse board and isolator switch/pull cord fitted.
Hi Neil Your boiler would depend on your hot water usage, I take it you have a main bathroom, an en suite and a small toilet down stairs for visitors, if you have electric showers in the bathrooms the 30k combi would do, if you have thermostatic showers you have to think would a combi cope with someone running a bath and someone having a shower at the same time, some people go for a normal boiler and a water tank that gives you hot water at mains pressure (unvented domestic hot water tank, fast tank) as they can be called so look at the hot water the combi will produce ltrs per minute, as for the thermostatic valves this is a new one to me.

30 kW is sound and stats on all rads so you can control them and about 3000 to 4000 would be about right any probs just email me with anymore questions thanks Chris cjs
