[#9993250]

Roughly how much labour only to replace 4x like for like radiators, with trv’s and install 4x new radiators with trv’s, 3m of pipework along skirting for 1 radiator, pipes exposed in stud wall for 2no radiators so minimal pipework and running pipework down a wall from the landing to the other radiator.

Any plumbers know roughly what would be a fair price for labour only?

I'd say two days work max, around £600 (depending on your locality). But I would expect to be paying £450.

I bet most wouldn't want to do it as they'd loose their mark up on the bits.

You could install an entirely new full house system including boiler in that time (probably less).

The price is so high as he needed to use the special reamer, reserved for customers who don’t want to be stung for excessive material cost markups...

Can your existing boiler capacity cope with the addition of 4 extra rads?
