Moving pipework can be a can of worms... is it under/over floor, or inside/outside the wall?
I'm guessing you want soldered copper pipe with bent corners, or perhaps soldered corner pieces instead of bent corners? I'd spec that too as some cheap quotes might involve using compression fittings, etc.
JonoMarshall-
It's a bit hard to type out, but basically pipes are in the floor above, and come down into a broom cupboard and then turn right out through the wall into a rad.
They need to come from floor above and turn left to the adjacent wall.
It's going to be a vertical rad so I'd also hope the pipes can go into the top.
Ideally I'd like the pipes chased into the wall - but I expect this to be about 20-50cm.

I've posted on checkatrade, but would be curious if anyone else has had rads installed and what the rough cost is to give me a benchmark.
Also other than TVR valves are there any other random expenses that I don't know about?
Cheers.
