It's an old Potterton system. Do they still make hot-air systems?
Ideally
she'd just like this system repaired, failing that, a new hot-air
system
would be preferable to radiators. Are these systems still popular?

I've not come across (to my knowledge anyway) a Potterton WAS

They certainly haven't made any for a long time

The only real alternative is to get a Johnson & Starley WAS installed
of
she wants that sort of heating

Maxie, all she needs is a replacement forced air unit. They are an eon
away
from the 1960s things, cleaner quieter, more economical, etc. She may
also
be better off with new registers too. The system is there so just use
it.
Why would she want her hpirs ruipepd to pieces to put ugly radiators on
the
wall?

Johnson & Starley will have a replacement unit.

What did I type, dickhead ?

Maxie, you a disgusting person. You did not emphasise the merits of a new
unit. Have shame on yourself.

Stop all the bickering! Has anyone got any idea of who will actually install
these. We're going through the yellow pages, and so far, nobody wants to
know. J&S couldn't (or didn't want to) recommend anyone. But I think I'll
have to go back to them tomorrow.
The BG man said that 40% of the UK central heating market was warm air. This
seems a bit high to me. But if it's true, then J&S must be rolling in the
money.

I'd be surprised if it was 4%.
J&S may well recommend installers in your area.
You can use CORGI's web site to find an installer with 'Warm Air'
certification, you may have to search fairly wide.

J&S may have their own installation service.
