New radiators transform a room — and they're a job for someone who understands flow, valves and system balance, not just brackets. A radiator that's plumbed wrong will be cold, noisy, or both, whatever it cost.

Tell us how many radiators and where, and we'll match installers who'll get them fitted, balanced and heating properly.

Common causes

  • Renovating rooms and wanting radiators to match
  • Replacing storage heaters with wet radiators
  • Adding towel radiators to bathrooms
  • Old radiators that are inefficient, rusty or too small

What's involved

1

Survey: radiator sizing for the room and the system's capacity.

2

Pipework: running new or extending existing supplies with proper falls and fittings.

3

Fitting: brackets, valves, TRVs and bleeding.

4

Balance: setting the whole system so the new radiators heat evenly with the old.

Prevention — stop it happening again

Size matters

A radiator sized by heat-loss calculation heats the room properly — an undersized one runs forever and never warms up.

TRVs on every radiator

Thermostatic valves pay for themselves in a season and stop the bedroom baking while the hall freezes.

Watch the system

If the system is sludgy, flush before adding radiators — new radiators on old sludge fail fast.

Match the style to the flow

Designer radiators look great but have different flow needs — your installer should advise, not just fit.

For landlords

Landlords: your repair duties

As a landlord you must keep the property's water, heating, sanitary and drainage systems in good working order and fix them promptly when they fail. You're responsible for structural repairs, the boiler and heating system, plumbing and electrics. Tenants should report faults in writing — and you should respond fast, because a small leak left unattended becomes a big claim.
