I opened my paper yesterday to see the following wildly inaccurate,

Well, there are plenty of those but they're usually biased the other
way...

The figures in the graphic are in cloud cuckoo land.
£761 to lag the tank? £755 for loft insulation?? £2,240 for
thermostatic radiator valves? At £9 per valve that's a pretty big
house!.

You're assuming zero labour cost, though. A TRV may cost £9 (although
that may be a 'cheap' one) but there can be significant labour to fit
it. Partial drain-down, pipework alterations if old valve is a different
size, etc. Certainly, when we had ours fitted, some of them were very
quick but some took a long time.
