Removing Radiator for door?

yoda84

Hey Guys,
We're currently buying a house and having everything priced up as it needs a lot of work doing. We want a large window in the lounge removed and replaced with French Doors, but underneath the window is a large radiator.

We want the radiator moving to the another wall in the same room, but im wondering what/how they will manage to add in the door if its where the pipe runs?

Cheers

The pipe will need moving.

Depending on your floors, pipes can go under the floorboards or through walls. We have solid floors and our pipework travels some very devious routes. Adds to the cost, but not difficult to do.

Yh we have concrete floors, im guessing it will be a dig tunnel for the pipe to run in and fill it back in once the system is tested and working yh?

I suppose that is one way, for some reason our pipes go through walls.

If it goes through the walls here though, it would have to go up and around the french doors that are being put in place...prob cheaper to stick it in the floor i would imagine...will find out anyway and post once i know.

Cheers for the help
