Radiator Installation in Walderslade

What We Offer

Radiator Replacement

Replacing old single-panel radiators with modern double-panel convectors is one of the most impactful heating upgrades for a Walderslade home. The convector fins between the panels dramatically increase the radiator's ability to transfer heat to the room, meaning you get more warmth from a unit that occupies the same wall space. We handle removal of the old radiator, update valves if necessary, and fit the new unit — typically completing each replacement in under two hours.

New Radiator Fitting

For rooms without existing heating, we extend your central heating pipework and fit a radiator sized to the space. We calculate the BTU requirement based on the room's dimensions, ceiling height, glazing area, and insulation quality. In Walderslade, this commonly applies to conservatories, converted garages, and home office spaces that were not part of the original heating plan.

TRV Installation

Walderslade's larger properties have more rooms than many others in Medway, which makes individual room temperature control particularly valuable. Fitting thermostatic radiator valves allows you to set different temperatures in different parts of the house. Guest bedrooms can be kept cooler, living areas warmer, and bathrooms heated only when occupied. The energy savings from TRVs typically pay for the cost of fitting within one to two heating seasons.

Designer and Vertical Radiators

For rooms where wall space is limited or where appearance is a priority, we supply and fit vertical radiators, column radiators, and heated towel rails. Vertical models are particularly useful in hallways and rooms where full-width wall space is needed for furniture.

Radiator Selection for Walderslade Homes

Walderslade's housing is relatively uniform in style, which helps with radiator selection.

Main living rooms and dining rooms. These tend to be the largest rooms in a Walderslade property and need correspondingly large radiators. A double-panel convector radiator in the 1,200mm to 1,800mm width range typically provides sufficient output for a standard Walderslade living room. For open-plan living and dining areas created by removing internal walls, two smaller radiators on separate walls may distribute heat more evenly than one large unit.

Bedrooms. Standard bedrooms in Walderslade homes work well with mid-sized double-panel convectors. Master bedrooms with en-suites may benefit from an additional towel rail in the bathroom area.

Hallways and landings. The hallway is often the coldest space in a Walderslade home because it connects to the front door and stairwell. A vertical radiator on a hallway wall provides heat without consuming floor-level space, which is important in narrower entrance halls.

Extensions and conservatories. Many Walderslade properties have had rear extensions or conservatories added. These spaces require careful radiator sizing because they typically have larger glass areas and less insulation than the original house. We calculate the additional heat loss and fit a radiator with sufficient output to keep the space comfortable in winter.
