Price to fit 3x Radiators.

First-time-buyer · 30 Oct 2014

As the title really, looking to have 3 extra radiators installed. Already picked them up from ebay.

Heating system is 15mm, and very easy runs. Decided against a DIY attempt. Its a vented heating system.

Rad 1 - Bedroom. <2mtrs copper.
Rad 2 - Hallway <1mtr Copper.
Rad 3 - Lounge 6mtrs Copper.

Any ideas? Happy for Lounge to be surface mounted, or chased into the wall and left for us to sort.

Really worried about ringing around asked plumbers to fit 3 rads, as i have a feel most wont touch the old 1985 heating system, and just go... "ooh...you need a new boiler"

1985 is not that old.

But it is pointless asking for prices on an internet forum.

Unless you're Tony- in which case it'll probably be £274.41 pence.

You have not said what those distances are.

I would be charging about £100 each to fit to wall and provide pipework access through wooden floor. Assuming floor is lifted and refitted by customer or his carpenter or extra for me to do it.

£35 to supply and fit Drayton TRV4 and £15 for lockshield.

15 mm pipe runs at £7 per meter if not too much notching involved.

Quite easy to do quotes, Dan.

I don't know why so many insist on wasting an uncharged hour going to look when you have seen hundreds of radiators before.

I like to put the money into doing the work not making unnecessary visits.

BUT you have not put your location into your profile!

There can be big differences between leafy Surrey and deprived Northumberland!

How would these fair against Drayton?

Wouldn't use them in my own home so wouldn't use in customers.
Just my opinion.

That's alienated a lot of people in Northumbria....
