Room Thermostat Gas Central Heating

Does anyone know if it is a REQUIREMENT (Building/Legal?) to have a room thermostat installed when a new boiler is fitted?

I have recently had a new boiler fitted under the Affordable Warmth Scheme. The installer (BG) removed my existing timer and replaced it with a combined wireless timer/thermostat. It doesn't control my heating as well as the previous timer. The thermostat has been fitted right next to my kitchen and when I'm cooking etc. it rises, but the two rooms upstairs are freezing!

I had TRV's on all four radiators (one bedroom house) but they removed one of them as a "feeder" or something :undecided

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
