Why Replace Your Radiators?

  • Old or undersized radiators struggle to heat rooms — leaving cold spots
  • Leaking, corroded or damaged radiators risk water damage to floors, carpets and décor
  • Upgrading radiator sizes improves heat output without replacing your entire boiler
  • Modern radiators with TRVs give room-by-room control and more efficient heating
  • A balanced system after installation protects your boiler and extends component life

Our Radiator Installation Process

  1. Get in Touch

    Call us or get in touch. We'll discuss your needs, answer any questions and arrange a convenient visit.

  2. Property Survey & Specification

    We assess room sizes, existing pipework and heat requirements, then recommend correctly sized radiators, TRVs and any pipework alterations.

  3. Professional Installation

    Old radiators are removed, pipework adapted where required and new radiators installed with neat, regulation-compliant connections.

  4. Commission, Balance & Handover

    The system is drained and refilled, fresh inhibitor added, radiators balanced and tested — with old units disposed of responsibly.

Radiator Installation & Replacement in Newbury & Berkshire — FAQs

How do I know if I need bigger radiators?

Rooms that never reach temperature, take a long time to warm up or rely on portable heaters often need larger or additional radiators. We carry out heat calculations and recommend correctly sized replacements for even, efficient warmth.

Can you install designer and vertical radiators?

Yes. We install column, vertical, designer and towel radiators — advising on sizing, pipework routes and TRVs so your new radiators perform as well as they look.

Is the heating system drained when replacing radiators?

Usually yes. We drain the affected circuit safely, complete the installation, refill with inhibitor-treated water, balance the system and test every radiator before we leave.

Can you repair a leaking radiator or valve?

Yes. We repair leaking radiator valves and connections where practical, and replace corroded or damaged radiators when that is the more reliable option. The system is then refilled, checked and balanced.
