Installing radiators, rough costs ??

[Superficial]

I managed to save labour time by draining the system, removing the old rads and hanging the new rads myself - very easy to do.

Not sure if it'll be balanced or not but I'm sure he'll put me straight

He will be able to balance the rads using the lockshield valves.

Let us know how you get on with this...

Is replacing like-for-like that simple if we're talking 1970s radiators? Surely what was 33" is now 90cm, etc...

Agree with copper pushfit comment, it's hilariously easy and very solid. Yorkshire techtite and cuprofit are both very good. Literally a child could make a plumbing connection with these things.

I'll do more exact measurements later but actually it looks like the new radiators will be similar width to my current ones, give or take a few cm

Might be cheaper way to do it after all !

Ok found this site:

http://www.heatandplumb.com/acatalog/Modus_2_Column_Radiators.html?height=600mm

And they pretty much do the exact same width as our current radiators.

One is the exact same width
Another is 16mm shorter
Last one is 2mm shorter

So now question is, is that something I could try and do myself ???

Thanks,
