£750 to move 2 radiators

It includes the 2 new radiators but it seems steep to me.

Am I being unreasonably naive?

Depends where you are moving them from and too. I'm guessing they will have to take up the floors and change pipework so you are possibly being a tad naive.

that sounds pretty reasonable to me

Dh says no 2 jobs are the same. Is it normal radiator (£80), double (£140) or cast lovely one (up to £500), plus moving them requires more piping etc.
is this your first quote ?

I think its a lot but it does depend on many things.I had 2 changed to old ones and I bought the rads and valves and it was £75 to fit Normal white Ch radiators are quite cheap

They are both doubles, so I suppose that's £300 - and they are moving to the perpendicular walls, if that makes sense.

It is the first quote but getting quotes out of people is like blood out of stone at the moment! I haven't the energy to find another plumber!

seems a bit high to me, if there's not too much extra pipework it would take a decent plumber half a day to fit 2 doubles so I would expect to pay £450 tops including the rads. Depends if you're in London though coz things can be more expensive there!

that sounds about right to me; radiators aren't that cheap.

A plumber was here yesterday and today. Did a sink yesterday (moved waste etc) and capped off some pipes under floorboard. Today he put in new radiator in toilet but that was simply installed off bathroom one. He put a new one in where there hadn't been one before. Cost for labour for sink and pipe capping, labour and materials for the radiators is £510 if that helps at all.
