  • I don't think that it's that they can't do it. If I can repair floorboards and make them look ok as a complete luddite, I'm sure someone who works on them all the time could too. It's more likely a "not my problem, mate" situation.

    Yep I’m looking for a unicorn type.

    Really I guess I want a handy decorator / finishing type to come in, take the existing floor up, pull the old rad off, fit the new rad then get a plumber in to connect it then get the finishing person back to make everything good?

  • My builder has a good and contentious plasterer and decorator pair. And that pair recommended the plumber. In an ideal world, I'd tell you to contact the builder, ask for that pair and get the number of the plumber from them. BUT, the builder is a pain in the dick to deal with.

  • This may not be very useful, but if you can get one good tradesman eg plumber, they should be able to get other equally good people. A good builder is really a godsend and they can get you whatever you need.
