Reasonable cost for installing 2 Rad's?

[T5GRF]

I am just looking into the cost of installing 2 radiators in our extension. I have 2 options in mind, firstly to "T off" a radiator directly above the single story extension and bring the pipes into the new room ( 6 x 5 m) hiding them in the wall in the kitchen below. Secondly to make the new room independently controlled with its own thermostadt and run pipes from the boiler in our garage up and through the landing into the bedroom above the extension and then down again. I would guess that the 2nd option would mean running circa 40 feet of new pipework ,plus lifting floorboards in the landing and bedroom.

In either case the pipes will need to be recessed into an existing wall and we will need a spark presumably to do some wiring.

So first question and I understand it would be a rough cost, what would be reasonable to expect to pay for options 1 or 2 given we will supply the Rad's and the plumber/Spark doing the rest including materials?

Secondly, can someone recommend a good, efficent, well made contemporary style radiator manufactuer to source the rad's?

Before someone suggests underfloor heating I have looked long and hard at this and for a number of reasons it isn't for us!

Cheers as ever!

Got a quote in today, the first option to fit 2 new rad's to existing pipe work with me supplying both rads and valves £750, the second option was to run new pipes direct from the boiler up and over into the extension and allow the room to be heated independently from the rest of the house which was £1100 again plus rad's and valves. I think these both sound expensive, any one care to comment?

Too many variables to make an accurate guesstimate, to be honest. It sounds a bit dear, but...

Thanks Arthur I know it's a bit vague, just wanted to get an opinion before I negotiate. I think a 20% reduction is required before either quote is fair.

Any advice on suitable good quality rad's to heat a 6 x 5 room?

We were quoted about £500 to supply and fit 2 new radiators, and removing the old ones. New pipework was required as one radiator was moved due to the wall where it was fixed to was removed.

Try these. I'm going to be considering alternatives from gfch as I just cannot be bothered with the upheaval.
