New radiator supply and fit from £200. Like-for-like replacement from £80 labour. TRV upgrades, relocation, system balancing and repairs. Gas Safe registered engineers across Liverpool and Merseyside.
Fixed prices. No hidden charges. All work includes system balancing on completion. We provide a written quote before any work begins.
We supply and fit a full range of radiator styles including standard single and double panel, column radiators, designer flat panel and period-style cast iron effect radiators. Column and designer radiators cost more to supply but are priced on quotation. Call us and we will advise on the best radiator for your room and budget.
We supply and fit every type of radiator found in Liverpool homes, from standard panel radiators to period column styles.
Single and double panel radiators are the most common type found across Liverpool. Double convector (type 22) radiators deliver the highest heat output for their size and are our standard recommendation for most Liverpool rooms. Available in all standard lengths and heights.
Traditional column radiators are popular in Liverpool's Victorian and Edwardian properties where period aesthetics matter. We supply steel column radiators in two, three and four column configurations, available in heights from 600mm to 1800mm. Correct sizing is critical. We calculate the output needed for the room before recommending a model.
Vertical designer radiators are a good solution for rooms where horizontal wall space is limited. We fit designer radiators in all standard sizes and advise on output requirements before supply. Note that designer radiators with low surface area can underperform in larger Liverpool rooms if not correctly sized.
Heated towel rails and bathroom radiators are available in chrome, white and anthracite finishes. We can connect these to your central heating circuit or install a dual fuel version that works independently from the main heating system. Useful in Liverpool properties where the bathroom is not always heated with the rest of the house.
If your Liverpool property has underfloor heating in some rooms and radiators in others, we can extend the radiator circuit into rooms the underfloor system does not reach. This is common in Liverpool extensions and kitchen renovations where underfloor was fitted but the rest of the house uses radiators.
Low surface temperature (LST) radiators are required in care settings and recommended in rooms used by young children or vulnerable adults. The radiator surface stays below 43 degrees regardless of the water temperature. We supply and fit LST radiators to any Liverpool property where they are required.
These are the most common radiator problems we attend across Liverpool. Most are straightforward to diagnose and resolve.
Sludge and magnetite build-up settles at the bottom of the radiator and blocks heat circulation. Bleeding will not resolve this. A power flush is the correct treatment. If multiple radiators in your Liverpool home have cold bottoms, the whole system needs flushing.
Air in the system rises to the top of the radiator and displaces water. Bleeding with a radiator key resolves this. If the radiator repeatedly needs bleeding, there is air entering the system which needs investigation, usually a failing pump seal or a small leak in the circuit.
A fully cold radiator on an otherwise working system usually indicates a stuck thermostatic valve or a blockage in the radiator itself. We can diagnose this on a visit and often resolve it on the same call without replacing the radiator.
A small drip from a valve or pipe connection can usually be stopped by tightening the gland nut or replacing the valve insert. Left unattended, a leaking radiator can cause significant water damage to flooring and ceilings in Liverpool's multi-floor properties.
Ticking when the heating comes on is normal thermal expansion. Persistent banging, gurgling or whistling indicates air in the system, sludge circulation or pump problems. We diagnose the cause before recommending any work.
Surface rust on an older radiator accelerates internal corrosion. A radiator with visible through-corrosion or physical damage should be replaced rather than repaired. A corroding radiator also releases iron oxide into the system, accelerating sludge build-up throughout the circuit.
Not sure what is wrong with your radiator? Call us and we can usually diagnose it over the phone before booking a visit.

Liverpool's Victorian and Edwardian housing stock presents specific challenges for radiator installation. Our engineers have 30 years experience with every type of Liverpool property.
Victorian terraces in Aigburth, Allerton, Anfield, Toxteth, Wavertree and across the city have solid brick walls rather than cavity walls. Horizontal pipe runs across solid walls must be either surface-mounted in boxing or run under suspended timber floors where access allows. Both approaches are workable. We assess each room at the quote visit and advise on the neatest route for your specific property.
Suspended timber floors in Liverpool's Victorian properties usually allow pipes to be run below without disturbing floor coverings in the rooms above. Where floors are solid concrete, surface-mounted pipework in neat boxing is the standard approach. We plan every pipe route to minimise visual impact on period features including coving, picture rails and original skirting boards.
Standard double panel radiators work perfectly well in period properties and deliver more heat for their price than column alternatives. If aesthetics are important, column radiators in traditional two or four column configurations complement Victorian interiors well and are available in heights up to 1800mm for rooms with high ceilings.
For Liverpool properties with large bay window alcoves, a radiator positioned in the bay is the most effective way to counteract cold air from the window. We size bay radiators correctly for the room rather than fitting whatever fits the alcove. Undersized bay radiators are one of the most common causes of cold front rooms in Liverpool Victorian terraces.
If your existing system has sludge build-up, fitting new radiators to a contaminated circuit will fill them quickly. Here is how to know if you need a flush first.
Multiple existing radiators have cold spots at the bottom. The water that comes out when you bleed radiators is brown or black. Your boiler makes banging or kettling sounds. The system takes a long time to warm up. Any of these indicate sludge in the circuit that will contaminate new radiators immediately.
Your existing radiators all heat evenly, the system warms up quickly, and the water from bleeding is clear. In this case new radiators can be connected directly to the circuit with a top-up of inhibitor on completion.
We assess the condition of your system when we visit to quote for the radiator work. If a power flush is recommended, we will tell you and explain why. We never recommend work that is not necessary. A power flush costs from £350 and can be combined with radiator work at a better overall price.
Fixed prices. Our own Gas Safe engineers. System balanced on completion. All Liverpool postcodes covered.
We quote the job before any work begins. The price we quote is the price on the invoice. No additions on the day, no surprises after the work is done.
Every radiator installation includes a system balance on completion. This is often skipped by cheaper operators. Without balancing, newly fitted radiators can starve other radiators of heat and cause uneven temperatures throughout the house.
All radiator work connecting to the heating circuit is carried out by our own directly employed Gas Safe registered engineers. Never a sub-contractor.
Victorian terraces, converted flats, 1960s semis, modern apartments. We have fitted radiators in every type of Liverpool property and understand the specific pipe routing challenges each one presents.
Every radiator installation includes an inhibitor top-up on completion. Inhibitor protects your radiators and boiler from internal corrosion. Most single-trade handymen skip this step entirely.

Real radiator installation reviews from Liverpool homeowners
Three new radiators fitted and the system properly balanced. Every room heats evenly for the first time. The engineer took the time to explain why the old radiators were underperforming and how the balance would fix it. Brilliant from start to finish.
Had a column radiator fitted in the front room of our Victorian terrace. The engineer routed the pipes under the floorboards so there is no visible pipework at all. The radiator looks perfect and heats the room better than the old panel ever did. Great advice on sizing too.
TRV upgrades on all eight radiators. Took half a day and has already made a noticeable difference to the bills. The engineer explained which radiator to leave without a TRV and why. That detail alone told me I was dealing with someone who actually knows what they are doing.

From quote to a fully working radiator. Here is exactly what to expect.
Call 07399 676656 or book via our contact page. For straightforward like-for-like replacements we can often quote over the phone. For new additions or column radiators we visit the property to assess the pipe route and confirm the correct radiator size for the room.
You receive a written fixed-price quote before any work begins. This covers all labour, fittings, the TRV and the system balance on completion. No additions on the day.
We drain the relevant section of the circuit, fit the new radiator with a TRV and reconnect the system. For new additions we route the pipe to the new position and connect to the existing circuit. We protect floors and surfaces throughout and clean up fully on completion.
The inhibitor concentration is checked and topped up before refilling. Once the system is back on, every radiator is balanced to deliver the correct heat output. This step is critical for even heating throughout the property and is included on every job we do.

A standard double panel radiator supply and fit costs from £200, including the radiator, TRV and system balance. Labour only for a like-for-like replacement starts from £80. TRV upgrades from £50 per valve. Radiator relocation from £150. Column and designer radiators are priced on quotation. We provide a written fixed-price quote before any work begins.
A like-for-like single radiator replacement takes 1 to 2 hours. A new radiator addition including new pipework takes 2 to 4 hours. Multiple radiators can often be completed in a single day. A full house TRV upgrade typically takes half a day. We confirm the expected duration when we provide the quote.
A thermostatic radiator valve controls the heat output of an individual radiator, allowing different temperatures in different rooms. Under Boiler Plus regulations, TRVs are required on all new radiator installations. They reduce heating bills by 10 to 15%. We fit TRVs from £50 per valve. One radiator in the house should be left without a TRV to act as a bypass. We always advise on this.
If your existing radiators have cold spots at the bottom or the system water is brown or black when bled, a power flush is strongly recommended before fitting new radiators. A contaminated circuit will fill new radiators with sludge quickly. We assess the system condition at the quote visit and advise honestly on whether a flush is needed.
Yes. We drain down the circuit, reroute the pipework to the new position and rebalance the system. Relocation starts from £150 depending on distance and pipework complexity. In Liverpool's Victorian terraces with solid walls, pipework is usually run under suspended timber floors or surface-mounted in neat boxing.
