Many contractors will be quieter at this time of year, so you can increase your chances of securing your first choice. Many will be booking for 2025 and beyond, so now is the perfect time to enquire and get your quotes.

We recommend starting every room renovation with the radiators. Decide where you will place them, and the height and width restrictions, and then the rest of the elements of the space will fall into place around this.
Next, calculate your BTU requirements. This is essential as it will help to ensure your radiators are big enough to heat the space without wasting energy.
Finally, choose the colour and style. This is the fun part! We stock a wide range of traditional and ornate radiators in a selection of classic colours. Learn more about traditional cast iron radiator colours.
