My current set up (images attached). I can heat my hot water tank (oldWood Fire.jpg) using the coal/wood fire , however how would I be able to use the fire to heat my radiators (7). I have recently moved into the house and I just cant see how its done. What would I need to buy to enable this?

Image descriptions
Coal/Wood Fire - (oldWood Fire.jpg)
Pipes coming from back of fire (pipes.jpg)
Inputs from fire to heat exchange (as I also have an oil boiler) heatingex.jpg
Red pump, pumps the hot water (from the heat exchange) to the radiators

Any help would be fab, thanks :)

Not sure how he finds your man, but if he hasn’t got qualifications it’s a “No” from me!

Might be a no from you but it still doesnt change the fact that whoever looks at it, they dont need an unvented ticket to look at a vented cylinder.
 
As to how OP “finds your man” - word of mouth is best.
An experienced ‘old boy’ will quite likely not have done G3 qualifications- but I’d rather have him for this job than a certificated inexperienced newbie.
