Thanks Mikey.There area few dealers on the 'net. One day, I'll actually do something!!

I had several quotes for taking out and removal all around £500. I didn't want to pay to get rid of it - if my kitchen had been a little bigger I would have kept it. I loved it. But the kitchen is my "living space" I don't use the rest of the house really and I wanted a somewhere to sit for a coffee and a dining table and chairs. 

The ones that took it out was a Father and son, they were quick, I had all the vermiculite from inside, they travelled from Somerset - they may happily come to you? They go all over the country. If you want their contact number let me know.

If you have their names, I'll keep it somewhere safe - but they're not having it for £50!!!

To be fair, mine was an "always on" one. I worked out the gas consumption about 15 years ago and was a little alarmed. Gas prices have gone up hugely since then so we were paying out a lot on bills - last summer it was hardly used as we often eat mostly cold food, I maybe chucked a few spuds in for jackets. With just two of us my cooking needs have changed so we felt the expense of running it 24/7 wasn't worth it.....husband couldn't get rid of it quick enough. I'm still a little lost without it.
