The BUS grant approval does not equate to the start of work, and if they run out of time they can request again.

In my case the 3 months from the grant approval ran out pretty much as the work started but the request was resubmitted without any issues.

Thanks @MWT - there was a concern raised earlier that I couldn't have the boiler removed without immediately replacing it with the heat pump, so I'm glad it's been cleared up, as there's building work to do once the boiler is out to make that corner of the garage into a plant room (preferably one free of mouse doors into the main house).

Bit late to this but… If you do install an oversized radiator and find it is kicking out too much heat, it is possible to tweak the lockshield to reduce the flow through that one radiator. Certainly beats fitting a TRV and having it screw up the flow rates across the whole system.

Thanks @FreeBear - second survey happening on Monday. Along with (hopefully) getting an idea of the floor levels in the garage conversion so we know what we can do with the heating in there!
