Removing two isolation valves in awkward spot (on heating pipework)

[Plumb Line]

Hi folks

There's a couple of isolation valves on our radiator pipework (vented system). One started to weep a while back, but luckily stopped after a bit of tweaking. I've since learned they shouldn't be there, and so with some plumbing work coming up which will require a drain down, I'm going to get them cut out and replaced with copper pipe.

Seeing as the system will already be drained on the one hand, but given the awkwardness of the position of the valves on the other, what would you expect to pay (or charge if you're a plumber) to remove the valves and replace with copper pipe?

Cheers

Taken in with working there anyway and system being drained- about £40/50. But as others have said , if pushed for a price one would have to allow for worst case scenario in which case your £120 is not unreasonable.
