    Cost of moving a radiator

    I have a handyman in at present who is plastering the front room and also going to put insulated plasterboard on the front wall. There is a radiator on the side wall close to the front wall, but it will need to be moved just a few inches, as the gap between radiator pipe and front wall doesn't leave enough room for insulated plaster board.

    Two questions,
    The handyman says he can move the rad, that its an easy job, but that once it is moved I would need to get a plumber in .....something to do with the water supply to the rad, and which valve connects it to the boiler....

    Does this make sense? Or should I have a plumber do the whole job.

    Also, what sort of cost I would I be looking at either for a plumber to dothe whole job, or the bit at the end....

    Sounds like he just intends removing the rad, if the floor is a concrete floor a plumber would be your best bet.
