So you would have to manually regulate the heating - turn it on and the place just gets hotter and hotter and you manually turn it off?

Mind you, if its anything like our flat even if you left the heating on permanently with the thermostat turned full up it wouldn't get that warm. Although the impact on our gas bill would no doubt be spectacular.

Given how expensive rent is in Guildford it made more financial sense just to try keep it from freezing using the weird timer things that came with the boilers and wear lots of clothes. Yeah, they were all old fashioned single paned/sash window/broken-glass-with-holes type places so getting past 15 degrees in winter was impossible.
