Hey guys, would you be kind enough to take a look at this please?
I've had an extension to my kitchen, and there are some pretty fundamental cock-ups that I'm looking to either get fixed or compensated for. The main one is that the 'plumber' decided to hook our kitchen radiator up to the hot water supply that was feeding our WC, rather than to the central heating as per my contract with the company.
So, as everything is complete now it would be a massive nightmare to actually rip out the new walls, new wood floor, etc to fix this, so I've told the contractor I want to be compensated instead. He knows it'll be cheaper for him, and I couldn't bear to have my new kitchen pulled apart again, but I need some advice.
The images below show the route from wall mounted radiator, into the wall and down, then the pipes are in the screed under the walnut floor, then in second picture under the WC wall, and I've shown where it SHOULD be heading to meet the Vaillant boiler which is accessed via an external door/cupboard. It currently just carries on and joins the WC rad.
So, what I'd like to get an idea of is how much a pro would charge to re-route this radiator from the hot water supply, into the central heating, including all making good to full finish of walls and solid wood floor.
If anyone is able to give me a ballpark figure from the info and pics it would give me great backup to sort this out with the contractor.
Any thoughts? Thanks a million in advance.
