Radiator Installation in Rainham

Radiator Services for Rainham Homeowners

Radiator Replacement

Swapping an old, corroded radiator for a modern equivalent is one of the simplest improvements you can make to your home's heating. Modern double-panel convector radiators deliver significantly higher heat output than the single-panel models fitted in most Rainham homes during the 1960s and 1970s. We can often fit the replacement onto the same pipework connections, keeping the job quick and cost-effective.

New Radiator Installation

If a room in your home has never had a radiator — perhaps a garage you have converted, a home office, a box room, or a conservatory — we extend your heating system to reach it. This involves running new copper or plastic pipework from the nearest connection point, fitting the radiator, and commissioning the system. We size every new radiator using BTU calculations specific to the room.

TRV Fitting

Thermostatic radiator valves are an affordable upgrade that allows individual room temperature control. Instead of the entire house running at the same temperature, TRVs let you turn down rarely used rooms and maintain warmth in the spaces you actually occupy. This targeted approach to heating reduces gas consumption without requiring any change to your boiler or thermostat.

Heated Towel Rails

We supply and install heated towel rails for bathrooms and en-suites, connected to your central heating system. Available in various widths, heights, and finishes, these units provide background heating for the bathroom while keeping towels warm and dry.

Choosing Radiators for Rainham Properties

The housing in Rainham falls into several distinct categories, each with its own heating profile.

1950s and 1960s semis. The streets around Rainham High Street, Otterham Quay Lane, and the Berengrave estate contain three-bedroom semi-detached houses that are typical of their era. These have standard room sizes and modest ceiling heights, making double-panel convector radiators the most practical choice. Replacing original single-panel units with double-panel radiators can dramatically improve how quickly rooms heat up.

1970s and 1980s detached houses. Properties along the newer developments toward Parkwood are generally larger, with more bedrooms and bigger living spaces. These rooms may need higher-output radiators — or a second radiator in larger open-plan areas — to heat effectively. We calculate the BTU requirement for each room rather than guessing.

Conservatories and extensions. Rainham homes frequently have conservatories added to the rear of the property. These spaces have more glass area and less insulation than the main house, which means they need a higher-output radiator relative to their size. We select a unit that can cope with the additional heat loss through glazing and lightweight roofing.

For any room in a Rainham property, the guiding principle is the same: measure the room, calculate the heat loss, and fit a radiator that meets the demand.
