Radiator Installation in Chatham

Our Radiator Installation Services in Chatham

We supply and fit a full range of domestic radiators, from standard double-panel convectors to column radiators, vertical designer radiators, and heated towel rails. Every installation includes connecting the new radiator to your existing central heating pipework, fitting appropriate valves, and testing the system to confirm correct operation.

New Radiator Installation

Adding a radiator to a room that currently has no heating — such as a conservatory, a converted garage, a home office, or a bedroom extension — requires running new pipework from the nearest connection point on your heating circuit. We route pipes neatly and discreetly, minimise disruption to walls and floors, and ensure the new radiator is correctly sized for the room using BTU (British Thermal Unit) calculations based on the room dimensions, insulation, and window area.

Radiator Replacement

Replacing an old radiator with a modern unit is one of the most cost-effective heating upgrades a homeowner can make. Modern radiators are designed to produce more heat from a smaller panel area and respond faster to temperature changes. We remove the old unit, replace the valves if needed, and fit the new radiator on the same pipework connections where possible.

Thermostatic Radiator Valve (TRV) Fitting

Thermostatic radiator valves give you control over the temperature in individual rooms by automatically adjusting the flow of hot water into each radiator. If your Chatham home still has manual radiator valves, upgrading to TRVs is a straightforward and affordable improvement that can reduce your heating bills by preventing rooms from overheating.

Choosing the Right Radiator for Your Chatham Property

The type of radiator that works best for your home depends on several factors: the size of the room, the available wall space, the output of your boiler, and your personal preferences regarding appearance.

Victorian terraces and older properties near Chatham town centre tend to have smaller rooms with limited wall space. Vertical radiators can be an effective solution here, as they take up less horizontal wall space while still providing adequate heat output. Column radiators also suit period properties aesthetically.

Post-war semis and council housing typically have standard-sized rooms that work well with double-panel convector radiators. These are the most common type of domestic radiator and offer a good balance of heat output, cost, and space efficiency.

Newer builds and extensions may have larger open-plan spaces that require higher-output radiators or multiple units to heat the room evenly. We calculate the BTU requirement for each room to ensure the radiator you choose is up to the job.

For bathrooms and en-suites, heated towel rails provide dual functionality — keeping towels warm and dry while contributing to the room's overall heating. We supply and fit towel rails in a range of sizes and finishes.
