Changing a radiator

Has anyone changed a radiator? Do I need a plumber or is it something fairly simple? How much would a plumber cost generally, if the new radiator is going where the old one was?

Youtube has a load of videos on it.

Generally it's not really that hard but can be a bit of a pain mounting the new one on the wall.

It's a fairly small job for a plumber so I would save up some more jobs and get it done along with those. Maybe get several changed at once.

Also might be worth taking the opportunity to increase radiator size if the room is on the colder side (swap single for double) or fit a TRV.
