Swapping a wide radiator to tall style?

[NameChangeNine]

Presuming it's a plumbers job. Any guide prices?

Ooh, I did this exactly last year in my kitchen. Got a 6' high 1' wide one. Got a local handyman to do it, came to about £150 (excluding the radiator and valves). I'm in NE England for reference. HTH!

I'm NE too! Bah that's more than I want to pay (isn't it always!!)

If you don't want to pay good money for a job well done (assuming you've already bought the tall radiator) then YouTube is your friend (also NE)

I haven't bought yet. I'm quite good at self teaching but that's maybe a step too far for me! I rent from a Housing association so putting a lot of money into the house needs consideration.

West Yorkshire here - paid £100 to install new tall rad in a different place (but along the same wall) as the one we were replacing.

wow, it cost me well over £1000. But that included the radiator (about £350, though I discovered I could have bought it myself for cheaper - they wouldn't tell me exactly what valves I needed though, and said that if they came to install it and I didn't have the right things, they wouldn't do it and would have to charge for aborted visit). It also included cutting into the wall to find the concealed pipes, and moving them a few feet down the wall, and then replacing the wallboard and a rough job of painting the area (the price should have included proper decorating, which didn't happen, and I wasn't too impressed with that, but it is all hidden behind furniture). It's also a slightly more complicated heating system than usual. Was about 13 hours work, according to the quote, but much of that seemed to be them faffing around getting bits and pieces, going off to other jobs while things dried, and not arriving or leaving at the time I'd have expected for an actual day and a half of work. On the other hand, they did quote, and they did come, which was more than most of the other companies that I tried.
