Well a look at the meter readings and the bill tariffs would be a

Sounds a little bonkers considering the cost of new storage heaters

They may have been put in with the original build, which was early to
mid seventies. There were 3 and with any luck there will be 3 again,
since a can't think of a preferable arrangement.


Hope the 'removers' hoovered up any asbestos dust that may
have been disturbed during removal.

I nver found any asbestos in my storage heaters.
Just heavy blocks and a little bit of rockwool

None in mine either., No rockwool either, very unusual
semi rigid very bright white insulation, allegedly the
same stuff used in the space shuttle heat shields etc.
Very light.

My gazco log-effect gas fire originally came with a pack of this
white fluffy stuff which was placed around the 'logs' to simulate
'ash'.

latest models don't use this, but I think the logs are still made
from it, but being 'solid' they aren't such a risk.
