Can anyone give me an idea how much we need to budget for labour (or how many days)to install 5 radiators in a flat, existing pipework and rads will already be removed and i want a neater/cleaner install than before as it’s all boxed in with fat looking box skirting which i hate , will not involve any chasing just going through some stud walls and round some pillars so a few more joints there.
i’ll be cutting a channel in some internal insulation in the lounge so PVC pipe trunking can go in the void and i’ll plasterboard over, no floorboards need to come up (there aren’t any it’s concrete floor/ceiling), it will involve some specialist fixings to go through 50mm of Kingspan to get to brick/blockwork so maybe i’ll get the feet to go with bigger rads but that’s straight onto hardwood floor. they may route through some built in cupboards
so some things there to slow them down but they should be able to tap into existing pipework without having to go digging anywhere.
budget for 3-4 days/ 1.5-2k ??
