Radiator Installation in Cuxton

What We Provide

Radiator Replacement

Replacing an old, corroded radiator with a modern unit is the most common radiator job we carry out in Cuxton. Whether the existing radiator has developed a leak, is no longer producing adequate heat, or you simply want a more efficient unit, we remove the old panel and fit a new one. Modern double-panel convectors deliver substantially more heat than older single-panel radiators and are the standard replacement choice for most rooms.

New Radiator Installation

If a room in your Cuxton home does not have a radiator — perhaps it was originally an unheated utility space, a cold porch, or a room you have recently repurposed — we can extend your central heating system to serve it. We run new copper or plastic pipework from the nearest connection point, fit a radiator sized to heat the room properly, and commission the system.

TRV Fitting

Thermostatic radiator valves provide individual room temperature control by automatically adjusting the flow of hot water based on the room's air temperature. In a village like Cuxton, where properties may have rooms that vary considerably in insulation and exposure, TRVs ensure each space stays at a comfortable temperature without manual adjustment.

Specialist Radiators

We supply and fit a range of radiators beyond standard white convectors, including column radiators that suit older properties, vertical radiators for narrow spaces, and heated towel rails for bathrooms.

Choosing Radiators for Cuxton Properties

The varied housing stock in Cuxton means a one-size-fits-all approach does not work.

Older cottages and period properties. The houses near the church and along Cuxton High Street often have thick walls, lower ceilings, and smaller rooms with character features such as alcoves and fireplaces. Column radiators work well in these settings — they suit the proportions of period rooms and can be fitted into alcoves. The thick walls, while good for retaining heat once the room is warm, require longer fixings and may need different brackets to standard fittings.

Inter-war and post-war housing. Properties along Bush Road and Rochester Road have standard room sizes that suit conventional double-panel convector radiators. These homes are typically straightforward to work in, with accessible pipework and standard wall construction.

1970s and 1980s housing. Newer houses on the village outskirts have purpose-built heating systems. Replacement is usually a case of swapping the old radiator for a modern equivalent on the same connections. These homes frequently have conservatories or extensions that need additional radiators.

Important note for Cuxton residents. Some properties in the more rural parts of Cuxton may not be on mains gas. If your home uses oil or LPG heating, we can still install and replace radiators on your wet central heating system. Our Gas Safe registration covers work on gas appliances specifically, but radiator work on a hydronic system is not fuel-specific.
