Move radiator from one wall to another

iamparakeet

Here is a job I posted to MyBuilder. Any comments on viability of the floorboards bit or price I should expect to pay please?

Thanks.

I would like to move my master bedroom radiator to another wall, to make way for new wardrobes which are better located where the radiator is.

Our house is a typical Victorian terraced house without upper bay - two bedroom windows.

The radiator is currently located on the left wall, as you look at the windows from inside. I would like to site the radiator instead on the same wall as the windows, between the two windows.

The bedroom has wooden floorboards and no carpet. Currently, the radiator pipes pop up from the floorboards with no extraneous pipework showing. Ideally, this is how I would like to keep it - ie. not to run above-floorboard pipework from the current location to the new location, but to remove the current pipework to below-floorboard level and only have signs of pipework emerging up at the new location.

So it's perfectly straightforward to lift the boards and reoute the CH circuit to the other side of the room. Obviously much easier if you're going along the joists rather than across them.
