    Does anyone know what they r supposed to do in the surveys
  • We are awaiting installation of a boiler and as previously pointed out, the 5 radiators.

    Existing heating is rubbishy Dimplex convector heaters.

    Where to start? The survey was a simple look around, measure the rooms, tell us they could install gas central heating and 5 rads. Any questions, sign here, we will be in touch.

    Half an hour at the most, btw our gas is LPG as we are rural.

    After ringing around for LPG tank prices, getting a feel for the safety regs for tanks I decided oil would be a better option - it wasn't offered by the surveyor and when I asked him he waffled his way out of it.

    Anyway, a few phone calls to Warmfront later and about 7 weeks waiting, an oil installation agreed and signed for.

    Installer has been over, surveyed again and job is awaiting parts now.

    I'd be tempted to remove the storage heaters, put a few well used fan heaters around and see about a full central heating install.
