Underfloor water heating cost

I am planning to change heating type midway house extension. 5 Radiators were included in with extension.

Total sqm area is 45. The builder is quoting extra £1800 to lay underfloor heating for labour. I have to buy materials for this. This needs to be connected to existing central heating system.

Is £1800 reasonable for 45 sqm?

    Well yes it is...but why spend £1,800 more than you have to?

    What's wrong with radiators?
    :footie:
    :p Regular savers earn 6% interest (HSBC, First Direct, M&S) :p Loans cost 2.9% per year (Nationwide) = FREE money. :p
  • Is 1800 estimate ok?
