Unfortunately, my girlfriend doesn't share my opinion that getting my Exige supercharged is way more important than heating or a fancy Kitchen :cry:

I need central heating and don't have a gas supply - rural-ish location. Does anyone know of any individuals or reputable companies that can install oil central heating? Or even have any advice regarding boiler choice or...err...anything else I need to know so I don't get ripped off.

Also, can anyone give advice on where to buy a Bathroom and Kitchen from? I have the services of a joiner for the kitchen but need a plumber, possibly also an electrician...any on here looking for work?

Long shot, but any advice is welcome. I'm in the Angus area.

Can give you the advice on boilers from the lastest tests in Which magazine last month, apart from that, my abilities to carry out any useful DIY stop there!

Steve, have you considered a "heat pump"?

Whatever type of boiler, get a SEDBUK Band A rated job if u can....this is it's efficiency category (A=90% plus)....costs a little more than a less efficient boiler but you'll recoup that in running costs pretty quickly, especially as fuel prices are likely to keep going up...Oil-fired ones are usually a bit less efficient overall, and I ain't an expert on them, so there might not be many 'A' ones available....
