Hi i've got a flat which has a thermostat in the lounge which regulates all the heating (radiators in all the rooms) i had a workman who checked my boiler who said that " it was better to leave the doors of the flat open to let the heat flow through evenly , rather than have the doors shut and when the lounge got hot enough the heating would cut out regardless of the other rooms is this right ?

The room thermostat in your lounge determines the heat in the lounge and shuts the CH on and off to maintain that temperature.
If you open your lounge door then some heat will escape and warm the other rooms. However the penalty is that your lounge will cool down faster and the CH run for longer. (You don't get 'owt for nowt')
The best method is to get Thermostatic Radiator Valves(TRVs) fitted to the radiators in all rooms and you can individually control the temperature of each room.0
