Moving radiator pipework

Posted by Tariq Usmani, on
I am thinking of replacing the radiators in my living room, which were installed in 1993 when my flat was built. The larger radiator is currently horizontal underneath my double window. I am thinking of replacing it with a vertical radiator. The existing pipework runs into the concrete floor (i am on the top floor of a 3 story block of flats). How easy/difficult would it be to move the existing pipework? And any idea of the potential cost of fitting the new vertical radiator? Thanks

Tariq... Unfortunately your plumbing works are not quotable over the internet, you will need a quotation in person from your chosen local plumber. I can say that due to the pipework being in concrete or screed, the Plumbing for the new radiator would be complicated, if your option is to move the pipes in the concrete or screed. It may be the case that the pipework runs underneath the floor, but I very much doubt it due to the type of property that you live in I hope this helps! J Ireland Plumber
