Heating
Fit a thermostatic valve to every radiator
Eight radiators, done in one visit, with the system drained once.
What this costs
We have this down as 3.5 hours of labour and £165 of materials. The prices below are that, plus VAT, and nothing else.
| Weekday, 8 to 5 Normal working hours. Most work should be this. | £498 | the normal price |
|---|---|---|
| Weekday evening After five, before ten. | £648 | £150 more |
| Saturday Booked in advance, not an emergency. | £648 | £150 more |
| Sunday or a bank holiday Booked in advance. | £723 | £225 more |
Where the weekday figure comes from
- Callout and the first hour
- £95.00
- 2.5 after that at £62 an hour
- £155.00
- Materials, at cost
- £165.00
- VAT at 20%
- £83.00
- All in
- £498.00
The callout covers the first 12 miles. Beyond that it is £0.55 a mile, one way — we do not charge you for driving home. If the job turns out to be a different job, we stop and tell you before it becomes a different price.
Cheaper as a set than one at a time, because draining and refilling the system is most of the work and it only happens once.
The one that should not have one
The radiator in the room with the room thermostat is left on lockshield. Two controls fighting over the same room is how a house ends up with the boiler cycling all evening.
