    Hi

    I am building a timber frame house at the moment and we were given a price by the plumber to run the pipes out from the wall and not from below up in the traditional way.we have been quoted 50 euros a rad to hide all pipes in the wall and there is 18 rads.

    Now there is not as much chasing as there is with blockwork and a service cavity is installed on all walls but an extra connection will be required now to run the pipe out directly to the radiator valves.does this price seem ok,as i do not think it is bad

    Cheers.

    Personally, I wouldn't pay that much. If he has an apprentice they should be able to do those 18 rads in 2 days. Even paying for 2 people I think €450 a day is steep in this economy. Consider that the apprentice is getting less than €100 of that.
