Where to buy radiators?

8 replies

Looking for radiators for my new extension. Never bought a radiator before. No idea where to start!
I know how much Watts/BTU I need from the online calculators. It's a big room and I think I'll need two, as well as one for the new downstairs loo.

We have an older house and are having a solid wood painted kitchen and I'd quite like a tall radiator, maybe column ones...traditional-ish without being cheesy IYKWIM?

Looking online I've found plenty of sites, but can anyone recommend suppliers? What do I look for to make sure they're good quality?

Many thanks.

Bumping, as I'd love recommendations too!

We bought some from a recommendation by our plumber - I will find the link. However, another one I found what I wanted online and they listed Travis Perkins as a stockist. Turns out that TP have a huge catalogue of stuff which they don't hold in stock but can order in, and their price was £100 less than the online price.

Here we go - these people - good range and I couldn't find their stuff at better prices anywhere (and the radiators are nice, delivery was prompt, etc etc)

Thank you so much stealthsquiggle! I will check that out.

try screwfix, they are online with quick delivery or there are stores dotted around the country.

Thanks stealthsquiggle I'll look there too, and try Travis Perkins.

I'd heard mixed things about Screwfix but will certainly look online as there's a branch near me. I wans't too sure about the quality but if you have had no problems...

Now I just need to decide where to put them!

we've had no problems with screwfix, use them all the time, have 5 screwfix rads in this house.
