Getting new combi boiler installed, radiators and pipes need changing - how to remove flooring when have heavy furniture

I live in a 3 Bedroom sandstone 4 in a block house similar to the one in the picture. http://i.imgur.com/oqn1YqK.png?1 I have a very old "back boiler" behind my fireplace and i use water tanks to heat the house. The council is changing all the old boilers and fitting in new ones instead and we are getting a combi boiler instead and are getting new radiators, new pipes fitted and the boiler is getting put in one of the old cupboards. The issue i am having is that the council are saying that we are the ones to remove the flooring for when they come to our house which raises a few questions We have a lot of furniture, how are we supposed to remove the flooring when we have very heavy tables ect? Do we have to move stuff to one corner, remove the flooring and then move it back? The council said once we remove the flooring that we can't put it back, so they are fitting carpet instead, i am confused because i know someone who removed theirs and put it back? Is it true we will need carpet or are they trying to cut corners? If they were to put carpet in the house, what would be the process, would we have to dismantle everything such as beds and wardrobes ect? for them to fit the carpet in?? Surely they have experience fitting boilers in peoples houses that have a lot of furniture, would i need to pack stuff like my desk away (my computer and all my files) or my tv and my wardrobe with clothes or can i keep them the way they are? Please help me with a rough idea so i can pack and organise! Thanks
