    We normally charge about fourthy euro per valve ,supply and fit. Maybe a little less with 11 in total.
    More if the pipework is GB (Steel).

    No ,thermostat supply and fit for 40

    You would only change the radiator valve ,if it was old or broken. There are some excellent rad valves that last ,it would be a waste to change them.
    Changing Rad valves would probably make the price 50 euro per rad.

    You can't just change valves and walk away ,the system may well have to be balanced when the job is done.
    I only use danfoss trv's or occasionally Myson trv's.

    Edit: I've never got any work on boards and if I ever aim to ,I'll register under our company name and pay for advertising.

    Also ,if your getting this done it would be good to put in some cleaner a few days before the job.

    Excuse my ignorance here and probably a silly question but if I put some sort of cleaner into the system a few days before getting the job done, where will all the black gunk, slime, dirt, whatever you want to call it, end up?

    If your getting thermostats on all the rads ,then you have to drain the heating system down.
    Thats what makes putting cleaner in beneficial beforehand:)
