Radiators & Towel Rails Garforth | Plumbers To The Rescue

Long cast iron column radiator under a bay window on a parquet floor

A radiator should suit the room and actually heat it. We size radiators to the room’s heat loss, not just the space on the wall, and fit them with the right valves so they balance with the rest of the system.

What we fit

Cast iron radiators

Heavy traditional column radiators, often under bay windows. They need proper wall stays and feet and the floor checked for weight.

Column radiators

Tall vertical columns in anthracite or white, ideal where wall space is narrow.

Heated towel rails

Chrome, matt black and brushed brass towel rails, on the heating, electric or dual-fuel.

Traditional valves

Pewter, brass and black thermostatic valves to match period radiators.

Moving and replacing radiators

New kitchen or layout? We move radiators, run new pipework and make good. Swapping like for like is often possible with only a partial drain-down.

Radiators not heating?

Cold at the top means air; cold at the bottom means sludge; cold all over can be a stuck valve. See central heating repairs.

Questions about radiators and towel rails

Can you fit cast iron radiators on a modern system?

Yes. They take longer to heat up but hold heat well. We check the boiler output and fit proper supports, as they’re very heavy when full.

Can a towel rail run in summer?

Fit a dual-fuel towel rail with an electric element, and it can run without the heating on.

Do I need thermostatic valves?

They let each room run at its own temperature and save energy. Building regulations expect them on new radiators in most rooms.
