Here's a Little Tester For You.

[SimonG]

Went out to look at this first thing. Cust wants towel rail off and radiator fitting. Rad supplied by cust. So just labour, trv, lockshield plus pipe and fittings. Open vented system. Rad 800 x 600 single convector. Solid wall behind.

How much?

 

[ShaunCorbs]

1/2 a day for draining down and refilling (takes account for problems) £140
rad valves and inhibitor £20
pipe, fittings, screws and plugs etc £25
labour fitting and piping up 2 hours £70

total £255 inc vat

i like how they've put the brackets on...

be looking at half a day to days labour + materials

 

[hammers4spanner]

I would be thinking £220 however down this way idiots would do it for less.

I was looking at 2 hours and no drain down. Snatch a couple of levers inside the boxing and away with the pipework.

cant get level ball valves for 10mm (only gas )

Shaun's seeing double tonight... 140 labour plus an extra 70 for 2 hours labour...
25 for parts & 20 for other bits lol...

I agree you could bung the feed and vent and use compression fittings inside the casing if you really wanted to. Probably no more than 2 hours doing it that way and no cost of lever valves.
I would be tempted to use the full flow isolating valves hoping they are good enough

 

[gassafe]

Snatch some isolation valves on the pipework lockshield nuts... I know it ain't meant to be done but if you don't some other bugger will lol
