Replacement of 3 small radiators

Like for like replacement of 3 small radiators (about 60x80cm); £400 all in (East Midlands). Does that sound like a fair price?

    Yes.

    Depending on how old they are and how warm the rooms are, you might want to upgrade a bit, rather than go like for like. It doesn't cost much.

    Thanks Doozergirl :)


    The rads (and the house) are less than 20 years old, but one started leaking and we found that it and two others would have to be replaced. Apparently it looks like corrosion inhibitor was not used when the system was drained in the past, and it's taken its toll on the radiators. The plumber showed us how rusty one of them is inside and it looked like it was about to fall to bits :eek:
    He checked all of them and luckily most of the others should be ok now inhibitor has been added, but it's too late for three of them. Will definitely check out what types are available though, thank you for the tip.
