Moving a radiator

    Hi all,

    I'm looking to possibly move a radiator from one wall to another, directly across from it. Is this an expensive/messy job?

    I'm looking into replacing the floor in the room anyway, so I presume now is the best time.

    Also, if anyone has any recommendations for a plumber to do this I would appreciate if you could PM me with details. I'm in the D12 area.

    Thanks.

    It depends on whats under the floor? Is it concrete (ground floor) or an empty space (second floor).
    Assuming second floor then its very easy and not messy.
    If its concrete then they will have to cut a path for a new pipes.

    I have a similar situation in our house (bought last year). There's a radiator in the hall downstairs, but my plumber discovered it's being fed from upstairs :rolleyes:
    It wasn't heating right, and he suspects there's not enough pressure to push water back up the return pipe.

    Anyways, I digress. One option I noticed was that there's a heater on other side of the opposite wall. It'd be a case of tapping off of this heater, through the wall and mounting a radiator. Any chance the opposite wall as a radiator the other side of that all?
