Radiator Repairs & New Radiator Installation

The cost of the radiator repair will depend on the type of the problem, contact us for a free survey of your radiator issues.

The cost of radiator replacement can vary depending on several factors, including the type of radiator, the size of the radiator, the complexity of the installation, and the location.

We can normally offer a like-for-like replacement, unless you would like a new style radiator or for it to be moved to a new location.

Before any work is undertaken, we will discuss all options and associated costs with you.

Knowing when to replace your radiators depends on several factors, including the age and condition of your current radiators, any ongoing issues with heating performance or efficiency, and your overall heating system needs.

Here are some signs that indicate it may be time to consider replacing your radiators:

Age: If your radiators are approaching or exceeding their expected lifespan, typically around 15-20 years for traditional cast iron radiators, it may be time to consider replacement. Newer radiator models are often more efficient and can provide better heating performance.

Corrosion or Rust: Visible signs of corrosion, rust, or leaks on your radiators may indicate deterioration of the metal, which can compromise heating efficiency and lead to further damage over time. If corrosion is widespread or severe, it may be more cost-effective to replace the radiators rather than attempting repairs.

Uneven Heating: If some rooms in your home are consistently colder than others, despite balancing the heating system, it could indicate that your radiators are no longer functioning efficiently or distributing heat evenly. Replacing old or inefficient radiators with newer models can help improve heating consistency throughout your home.

Cold Spots: If you notice cold spots at the bottom of your radiators or inconsistent heating performance, it may be a sign of trapped air or sludge buildup within the radiator, reducing its effectiveness. Flushing the radiator system may help in some cases, but if the issue persists, replacement may be necessary.

Energy Efficiency: Older radiators may be less energy-efficient than newer models, leading to higher heating bills and increased energy consumption. Upgrading to modern, energy-efficient radiators can help lower your energy costs and reduce your carbon footprint.

Home Renovation: If you're renovating your home or upgrading your heating system, it may be an opportune time to replace your radiators to ensure they align with your aesthetic preferences and heating requirements.

Ultimately, the decision to replace your radiators should be based on a thorough assessment of their condition, performance, and your overall heating needs.
