I thought this is a DIY site and not 'I want a tradesman'?

£300-£800 depending on pipe runs and associated work..

What is easy for you to see as a finished product, can be a minefield for the installer...

Eh? Is it not drain system, run pipework and refill system???

The floor is up - was hoping it would take one day max and therefore £120ish

You have asked for a price and got one and all you want to pay is £120.

i am asking for a breakdown and explanation of what is involved - quite reasonable i think

Would you write a blank cheque without question?

 

[HERTS P&D]

No, I would get 3 quotes and take it from there.

I don't give breakdowns, I give a fixed and final quote, take it or leave it.

What you reckon for materials? , maybe an insult 120 notes a day?

What you need is a deluded plumber.

and what happens if the pipe sizes are in adequate for the extra radiator, and who are you going to call when the radiator stops working because the pressure has dropped at the boiler?

Really just because you see it as straight forward and we make things look easy it doesn't mean it is.

of course you could pay your £120 and then issues develop and you blame the plumber..

I think what people need to realise here is that its not just a simple case of cutting a length of pipe slapping a few pushfits on,topping up the system and away you go.

Like with everything else you get what you pay for but with this type of work if you pay little it usually ends up costing you more in the long run to get it put right.

I like people that go for the cheapest quote as I have been to many to put the job right.

Sorry, let me re-phrase that last post,

The wife likes people that go for the cheapest quote.
