Can anyone recommend a cheap infrared thermometer that I could use to measure the temps. I might go into another flat and compare the temps of the RADS.

Plumb Center are doing a Testo 830-T2 infrared thermometer for £50 + vat currently.
I have a more expensive Testo model

Pleased with mine, they might still have some in your local Lidl it was about 4weeks ago
 
I agree, I will focus on the fact that the flow temperature is 53 degrees where it should be much higher.
Then they can rectify the fact that they have piped it incorrectly.
They also need to get rid of the air in the system.
When engineer was on-site he showed me the heat exchange unit had temp of 80 degrees but I believe that was the incoming hot water from district plant.

Anyway I will order a thermometer to take readings of all my rads.
Will then see if neighbor will assist to provide theirs.
 
One more thing I can recollect in my mind is when the first visited the flat last year, they did mention they moved something to the highest setting. It could have been the pump or it possibly could have been the thermostat for the heating in the heat exchange. The thermither range is between 35 and 75 degrees. Maybe there could be a possibility that the thermostat setting is still stuck on the original setting or maybe it's not functioning correctly. I can't turn it as it seems to be stuck in its current position which is at the highest setting.
 
If the rad inlet temperature is 75C then you won't be able to keep your hand/finger on this for very long, if its = or < 53C then you will be able to.
