The work was done by Derekgas and his company in less than a week. Most of the piping was done in trunking, partly for the reasons jaysay gives and partly to get the job done done quickly. The trunking is very unobtrusive and has been well done and probably created less mess than trying to go through walls and floors.

All in all I was very happy with the job - and they cleaned up after themselves!!
The warm air boiler system which was utilised in lots of homes belonging to HH and HBC before them, was to say the least hard to control and expensive to run, they change to radiators in our flats about 6 years ago and its been far better, especially with me being asthmatic
