I'm redecorating and have a heating system that is fairly ancient. We know the boiler isn't going to live much longer, but while it's still functioning we're not going to replace it unless the lottery comes up. The radiators are all the single type and look like they've been painted with porridge so I'd like to replace just the two in the area we are redecorating. I think that they'll look terrible especially as we're having the walls re skimmed so it should look great when done.
I noticed that you can buy radiators in B&Q and it got me wondering if DH and I could just buy a couple of new ones the same size as the existing ones and replace them. We will probably have to take them down for the plasterers anyway, is it as simple a job as just putting a new one back on?
Also - is B&Q the best place to go?
