Adding an additional radiator

anewloginapparently

I've just bought a 1 bed ground floor Victorian tenament flat that has dated pressed steel radiators in the lounge & hall, but none in the bedroom (it's all on one floor).

I'd really like to replace the 2 existing radiators with cast iron radiators that are more in keeping with the property (Victorian high ceilings etc) & also install an additional radiator in the bedroom.

Does anyone have a rough idea of how much this is likely to cost me for installation?

The flat has a gas combi boiler that is about 8 years old.

I know how much the radiators are already so I mean just the installation & work involved really?

it depends on how difficult it is to run pipes from boiler to where you want the radiators. It usually takes 2-3 hours for the first one and 1-2 hours for any additional radiator. Hourly rate is around 55-65 +Vat in my area so you will need to find out yours and do the math.
