And, you will also likely have to give them a peak electric supply as

I don't know what this would mean in terms of work and cost.
Not that much if there is a nearby 13 amp socket which can be spurred from, and the flat electrics are up to some heating load on the socket circuits. I think the largest Quantum is 2kW load so you can get a couple on a 30A ring okay.
You may be able to get pre-LOT20 secondhand storage heaters cheaply if you can collect from nearby ebay/gumtree sellers.
Depends on how the metering is arranged - it's possible the supplier has turned off the E7 function on the meter and it's now supplying all circuits 24 hours at the same rate. A photo of the intake/meter/consumer units may provide further insight.

Thanks for all the info Owain.
Here's what I've managed to glean so far, including a bill from the
electrician.

There are two separate 30amp fuses/mcbs for sockets.
How big is this flat ?.
