I thought he was being optimistic but told him to take as long as required, and not to rush it.
He has made a very good job of it and I will post some photos.
the quotes I had ranged from £1600 to £2750.
I reckon I will pay for the job in 18months.

In Australia, you can have the government pay for this!

This is apparently a big deal the Aussie gov't is trying to promote. Not being from there I couldn't verify it, but that seems legitimate. I just wrote a piece on LPG. I would be interested in your real world findings.
