Radiator Installation in Lordswood

Lordswood neighbours Walderslade in the ME5 postcode area, sharing similar housing characteristics: spacious detached and semi-detached homes built during the 1970s and 1980s with generous room sizes and well-established gardens. These are family homes designed for comfortable living, and the central heating systems installed when they were built reflected that ambition.

What We Offer

Radiator Replacement

Removing an old, corroded radiator and fitting a modern double-panel convector in its place is one of the best value-for-money heating upgrades available. Modern convectors use fins between the panels to significantly increase the surface area in contact with the room air, producing more heat from the same physical dimensions. The improvement is often noticeable from the first time the heating runs after the swap.

New Radiator Installations

Lordswood homes are frequently adapted by their owners. Conservatories, garage conversions, loft bedrooms, and home offices are common modifications, and many of these spaces end up relying on plug-in electric heaters rather than the central heating system. We extend your pipework and fit a properly sized radiator so the room is heated as effectively as the rest of the house.

TRV Upgrades

With four or more bedrooms, a lounge, dining room, kitchen, and hallway, a typical Lordswood property has 10 or more radiators. Heating every room to the same temperature regardless of whether it is occupied is wasteful. Thermostatic radiator valves allow you to dial down infrequently used rooms and concentrate warmth where you need it. The gas savings are meaningful over a full heating season.

Vertical and Designer Radiators

For rooms where conventional horizontal radiators are impractical — narrow hallways, behind doors, or in rooms where wall space is needed for fitted furniture — vertical radiators provide the heat output you need in a slim, space-saving format. We also fit heated towel rails in bathrooms and column-style radiators for homeowners who prefer a traditional aesthetic.


Radiator Choices for Lordswood Properties

The housing in Lordswood is predominantly spacious family homes, which influences radiator selection in several ways.

Larger rooms need higher output. The living rooms and master bedrooms in many Lordswood properties are generous in size, often exceeding 18 square metres. These rooms need radiators with correspondingly high BTU output. A double-panel convector radiator in the 1,400mm to 1,800mm width range is typically suitable. For very large open-plan spaces created by knocking through rooms, two smaller radiators on separate walls may be more effective than one large unit.

The hallway and stairwell. Lordswood homes often have a spacious entrance hall and a wide staircase. These areas can act as chimneys, drawing warm air upward and leaving the ground floor feeling cold. A vertical radiator in the hallway provides direct heat to this transitional space without blocking floor area.

Conservatories and garden rooms. Extensions with large glazed areas require careful radiator sizing. The heat loss through single or double-glazed panels is much higher than through insulated walls, so a conservatory radiator needs a significantly higher BTU rating per square metre than an internal room.

Loft conversions. Properties with converted lofts may have radiators on sloped ceilings or knee walls, where space is limited. Low-profile or compact radiators designed for restricted spaces work well in these situations.
