All the heating in tenants flats is by central heating - ie one radiator to heat the main room. thats it

One radiator per room (this is normal) or on radiator per flat (this is not good) if only one per flat how many rooms does the flat have?

Does the radiator(s) have thermostatic valves that you can control yourself?

System

What is it that you dont really understand bearing in mind the clear details that have been given above.

Temp does not need to be recorded to make a valid claim for breach

If your rent provides heating and hot water, then recording the temperature in your flat is very important to establish whether the heat and hot water is being provided.
Measure the temperature throughout the day and then you can see what the temperature drops are and whether the flat heating is below normal temps - saying you don't need to measure it just means the landlord can say your flat is heated for x number of hours a day and it's fine - you need some evidence that the temperature is not satisfactory, why would you not want to do that?
