Moving radiator along wall...how big a job?

[slicendice]

I'm getting a new boiler fitted and installing EvoHome as well along with the wireless TRVs. The dining room radiator is not in the middle of the wall and consequently about 6-8 inches of the TRV end of the radiator is behind a cupboard. The pipes for the radiator come up through the floorboards.

I'd prefer it if the radiator was about 2 feet to the left of where it is now so that it was more central on the wall and the one end was no longer behind the cupboard (making it much easier to access the TRV and also lessen the chances of getting skewed temperature readings from it), but I don't really know how much it would cost to do that.

I know it's probably hard to say definitively without seeing it, but could anyone give me a rough idea on how big a job that would be? Are we talking a couple of hours? Half a day? I'm just trying to work out if it's something I can afford to get done before the new boiler install or whether I'm going to have to leave it a while (and let the funds recover a bit!!).

Thanks

You can fit a wall thermostat in that room it seems. The HCF82 is a wireless room sensor ideal for use where temperature control of an evohome controlled HCC80R underfloor heating zone is required or where an evohome HR92 Radiator Controller is not ideally located (under a curtain or behind a radiator cover) and a better temperature sensing location is required. will that help you?

Why not just ask the boiler installers for a price... It'd be cheaper than it being done as a separate job, as they're on site with tools already!
