What with the credit crunch and all, Id like to get round to fitting some TRVs in my house. is this a fairly straightforward job - are they pretty much the same size as a standard radiator valve - or is there likely to be some pipe cutting going on? Id have thougt Id have to cut the pipes where below the olives of the old valves wouldnt i - as the pipe will be compressed at that point - in which case id have to move the rad down an inch or so..?

best to show a photo of what you've got.
if you have pipes coming up through concrete floors so no play in the pipes, it can be more difficult.
if you can jiggle the pipe up and down and side to side, it will be easier
a tip I learned too late: if you want to lower the rads a fraction, you can open up the slots in the wall brackets with file or grinder. Far easier them measuring and refitting the brackets.

far easier to mount rads with screws in center of vertical slots. then its simple to raise or lower the rad by 10mm or so.
