How much to box in pipes?

Question

Hello, 
I recently purchased a 2 bedroom downstairs flat. The central heating system runs around the bottom of the floor all around the flat at just above skirting board level. The system works fine and recently had a new boiler but I think the copper pipes are ugly and i'm just wondering if i can get a carpenter/joiner to box them in?  How much should i expect it to cost? I need about 15-20 metres in total, boxed in and painted. Thanks

It depends how you would like it done, there is premade boxing from companies like 'Encasement', or it can be boxed in using wood off the shelf from DIY shops, labour wise it depends on how tricky it is to fit, but would normally come in around £130-£160 a day, plus the materials.

Hope that helps

Hi yes in theory they or the majority can be boxed in, photos of pipework would give a better idea of what can be Done. Either wood could be used but potential even White plastic trucking could be used. Please send me photos and would be happy to talk to you directly

Around £250 - £400 to supply all the timber and mdf and then fit it and seal it prior to painting it.

Hi. Boxing in pipes is about a days work should be around £120.00 plus materials

Paul · Answer

You would be around 150 pounds including materials to do this job not including the painting you would be cheaper to just paint the pipes

Michael · Answer

I would allow £30 for materials and a days labour charge £160. So £200 pounds would more than cover this.

Hi, it depends on how much boxing in there is to do and what materials you require for the boxing in and the labour charge on top.
Regards,
Paul.
