How much should i expect to pay.. Moving radiator

[zanna 10]

Hi Guys,

 

I am looking to have a radiator moved and wondered if you wouldn’t mind letting me know what I would expect to pay. I am moving to a new city (sob) where I don’t know any tradesmen and am worried about getting ripped off. I would like to know what would be a reasonable quote to accept?

 

I have put a link to the room…

I would like a tall radiator (which I will supply) putting in the alcove and the big radiator removing.

 

MANY THANKS!!

Hi,

 

There are lots of assumptions here, like is the floor concrete or floorboards, what type of heating system is it, are joist or other obstructions going to cause an issue.

 

So, I will simply say that this type of job should be able to be done in 3 hours or less. My typical charges are £45 for the first hour and £25 per hour after that. So on that basis £95 plus parts. Parts would include, copper pipe, fittings etc....Parts should be around £15 ish.

 

If you budget at around £100, you should be ok, but the cost could go either way. Good luck and hope you get a friendly and quality plumber.

I have recently had new radiators fitted and some radiators moved and i would say around £90 plus parts.Visit mybuilder.com if you dont know anyone in the trade advertise your job on there,pick the plumbers with the best feedback and then get about 5 quotes and that will give you a good indication what youl have to pay.
