Explain the outcome you want

Describe comfort issues, planned extensions or changes to the way rooms are used. A professional needs the whole picture to assess the options.

Ask what the proposal includes

Check removal, installation, controls, making good, completion records and any optional work. Compare equivalent scopes rather than headline figures alone.

Plan for the installation

Discuss access, delivery and expected interruptions to heating or hot water. Confirm what you need to prepare in advance.

Keep the handover information

Ask for the applicable product documents, installation records, operating guidance and aftercare arrangements. This guide is planning information, not technical repair advice.
