In order to assist and advise our customers, it is important to note, as all our radiators are cast using traditional methods and casting moulds, there will be slight imperfections and fettling marks on our radiators and this is how we have always wanted to supply them.

This is because we are passionate about wanting to supply our cast iron radiators which have the appearance and authenticity of being many many decades old, but with the features and guarantees associated with that of a modern radiator.

An important point to note for some..... The lighter the colour of your radiator the more these slight marks will possibly be noticed due to shadowing etc and the lighter colours such as Cream White are likely to require touching up more often to keep free from accidental scuffs and knocks.

On the other hand, for obvious reasons, the darker the colour, the more forgiving and less likely these marks will be noticed and as such, these are much easier to ensure the always look in 'Tip Top' condition.

Radiator Fitting Guidelines

  • Appropriate dosing tool must be used and water subsequently tested to ensure correct levels of inhibitor are added to match the total water content of your system. This should be recorded for future reference. Failure to do so will invalidate any warranty offered.
  • In addition to the above, it is always important to remember that every time your heating system is drained down for repairs/alterations/decorating etc, Inhibitor will need to be re-introduced again to the correct dosing level.
  • To comply with BS 7593:2019, inhibitor levels should be checked annually and recorded as part of your boiler service. BS 7593:2019 also states that after 5 years systems should either be re-dosed, or a laboratory test performed. Failure to do the above will invalidate your warranty.
  • If you have a sealed/pressurised system, once the correct amount of inhibitor is added to the system, it should remain active for the life span given by the manufacturer or until the system is drained.
  • If you have a vented/open system, you MUST regularly check that the inhibitor in the system is at correct level for your system volume as evaporation may affect levels over time. failure to do so will invalidate your warranty.
  • Lastly, we always recommend that suitable trained/qualified individuals install and maintain your heating system.
  • All bush ends/caps will only be hand tight to allow customers to interchange if on a gravity fed heating system and need fitting correctly when installed.
  • A common cause of leaks is over tightening of the valve tails into the bush ends of the radiator. Over tightening will crack the bush. When fitting the valve tail into the bush, turn it finger tight, then using a spanner turn it until there is only moderate resistance. Using a 4” spanner it is difficult to over tighten. A thread sealant must be applied to the radiator end caps and to the valve tail threads to get a water tight seal. LSX sealant, which is available at most plumbers’ merchants, is recommended. PTFE tape is an acceptable alternative. The torque from an 8” adjustable spanner will be sufficient to create a good seal.
  • All valves and air vents/bleed valves to be fitted with an LSX sealant or PTFE tape.
  • NO caustic/corrosive/acidic plumbing compounds or liquids are to be used on or in any part of our radiators, our valves, or connections including aggressive flushing agents. Failure to not adhere to this will invalidate your guarantee.
  • On commissioning, the water in the system MUST BE cleaned to remove debris, flux & residues. It should then be tested and if required, neutralised correctly following the use of any compounds etc if required using appropriate crystals or similar.
  • If your system requires flushing, we recommend the use of Fernox F3 followed by the use of F1 rust inhibitor, which unlike other chemicals are not acid based and should not affect seals. After treatments the water should be checked for a neutral PH between 6.5 - 8.5. System design, flushing and dosing must be in accordance with B5449, 1990. BS EN 12828: 2003 and BS 7593:2019.
  • Following this procedure, the system must be closed with a sufficient Corrosive Inhibitor suitable for the water quality in your system. Dosing tools must be used to ensure the minimum correct levels of inhibitor are present at all times to prevent corrosion and should take into account the particular metals within the system.
  • Appropriate inhibitor should be used in conjunction with manufacturer’s instructions and appropriate quantities must be used for the water content of the system. Failure to do so will invalidate your guarantee.
  • The use of water softener in the heating system can cause problems with the gasket seal and will invalidate any guarantee offered.
  • We do not advise using our cast iron radiators with an electrical heating element.

Guarantees & Condition of Sale

Our Cast Iron Radiators are guaranteed for a period of 10 years, Valves for 2 years and all other products (excluding reclaimed products or where specified) for 1 year from the date of the Purchaser’s invoice to be free from any manufacturing defects. The Company will replace any goods found faulty due to manufacturing or workmanship defects, free of charge within this period, subject to the following exceptions:

  • If the defect arises as a result of wilful damage, negligence, misuse, abnormal working conditions, failure due to incorrect installation or failure to follow our instructions.
  • If the buyer alters or repairs such products without our written consent.
  • If the buyer has not paid the Contract price for the Products by the payment date.
  • If the radiator in question has been supplied in parts to be fully assembled on site by the customer or their plumber.

Defective goods will be repaired or replaced subject to the following conditions:

  • The Buyer provides proof of original purchase and written notice of the defect immediately;
  • The company reserves the right to change only the defective part or section of a sectional radiator;
  • Consequential loss - the company is not liable to any consequential loss caused directly or indirectly by any defect in its goods including any costs of labour incurred by the Purchaser;
  • The benefit of this warranty is given to the first retailer purchaser of the goods and is not assignable.

We always advise you to wait for your cast iron radiators to be onsite before working out pipe work and pipe centres widths. This is because cast iron is not an exact product and because each radiator is hand assembled there will always be slight discrepancies as indicated on each radiator page in the lengths of same style & size radiators.

However, we appreciate that occasionally some prep work may need to be carried out prior to your order arriving onsite and that approximate pipe centre measurements may be required for first fix purposes.

In this instance, please refer to the technical drawing/specification document, saved as a PDF on each individual valve type, for the measurement from the thread on the valve tail to the centre point of the valve, and add this to the length of your radiator to work out your approximate pipe centre measurement.

For example, if fitting one of our Kenilworth Thermostatic Valve Sets, which has a measurement of 45mm from thread on the valve tail to the centre point of the valve, to a 10 section, Traditional Victorian radiator at 650mm wide, the approximate pipe centre measurement would be 740mm.

For the approximate measurement off the skirting board or wall if no skirting is used to the pipe centre we suggest half the depth of the cast iron radiator + 10mm as a minimum.

For the approximate ‘outside valve to outside valve measurement’ (the minimum measurement to be able to operate the valves freely) you should add approx. 150mm/6.0” to the length indicated for each radiator in the Specification tab, however this measurement will vary depending on the valve that is fitted - this measurement should be used if fitting the radiator and valves into an area where there may be a width restriction.

*PLEASE REMEMBER THAT THE ABOVE MEASUREMENTS SHOULD BE USED AS A GUIDE ONLY.

DELIVERY LEAD TIMES - Lead times to despatch are now shown live on the website and we will always do our utmost to keep to stated times.

All radiator pallet deliveries are made on a 7.5t Lorry (the smallest vehicle we can book) with tail lift to kerb side only or nearest hard standing and are based on a 'Book In & Signed For' All Day service (9.00 a.m. - 6.00 p.m. - Week days only).

Once the order has been booked out for despatch, you will receive status emails periodically from Mobile People Powered Logistics (Mobile PPL), our delivery partner, to confirm receipt of the order, confirmation of the pallet being scanned to a delivery vehicle (with ETA), and then confirmation of delivery completed.

Alternative ‘All Day’ dates will be available at no additional cost to suit.

Upgraded to services such as Next Day delivery, Dedicated Day a.m. or p.m., timed delivery windows and Saturday deliveries where available are available for an additional charge to be paid directly with Mobile PPL only.

RED ROUTES & RESTRICTIVE PARKING - Please note drivers are unable to park on double yellow or red lines due to the risk of a parking ticket.

ACCESS - Please inform us if there are any access restrictions at your delivery point (such as 7.5T weight restrictions or height restricted bridges).

If you require a 'Dedicated Day' (working week day) for delivery to ensure you have help to hand you must indicate this in the message box at checkout. Please note that this may delay delivery slightly. This will still be a kerb side only or nearest hard standing service.

If, in the event the driver does agree to assist you, we assume you accept full responsibility for any subsequent damage to any person, or property and by doing so you will void any right to make a subsequent Insurance claim.

Care should be taken when removing radiator(s) from the pallet on delivery. Radiators should be lifted off and NOT dragged/pulled as this will result in paintwork being damaged. When removed from the pallet, all radiators must be carried in an upright position to prevent damaged to joints.

  Beautiful radiator

A really good quality and stylish radiator. Extremely heavy and looks beautiful. We purchased the cream white and I’d recommend getting the touch up paint as once installed it just needed a little bit of paint touching up. So pleased with it and will definitely be ordering more when we decorate other rooms.

  Exceptional Service & After Sale Care!

We bought 9 radiators from CIRC. We made an error initially in sizing 1 radiators when they were made and sent. CIRC allowed us to return 1 radiator and order additional radiators, they provided relevant refund very promptly. All the above was no trouble whatsoever to CIRC and frankly good old fashioned customer service we are not used too! We highly recommend CIRC and many many thanks to Steve & Paul for your invaluable help!

This was the second room I’ve added cast iron rads into and chose these due to the height. They fit perfectly in our Victorian house and are a real statement. We went for 2 x 13 column to add a real wow to the room. They are very heavy but this was expected. They are a must and great value for money.

  Hot and heavy!!!

So happy with these classic looking radiators. Had the whole house fitted with central heating and these rads throughout. The quality for the price is excellent and the heat they give out is fantastic. You're hard pressed to find this type of rad cheaper anywhere else. We went for a mixture of short and tall depending on room size and placement area. Very happy with the CIRC service and communication throughout. Two things I would note, firstly they are bloody heavy so make sure you have enough help to move them. Secondly if you find you need to add or remove sections dont forget you can buy a tool from CIRC to remove or add. We found 1 rad was to long for the area it was intended, not a problem if you have the tool as you can just take a section out.

  Cast iron princess radiators

I have had several of these installed in my Victorian property over the past few years. They are beautiful pieces and always get lots of comments. They also keep the house toasty and warm so winning all round. Very happy with them and the customer service from CIRC which has always been great even when we’ve had minor issues (one of our thermostatic valves was faulty but no quibbles they replaced it and refunded my postage). Only thing I’d be aware of is the curb side drop which is a pain if you haven’t got an army of strong people to heft them inside! We ordered thermostatic valves and chrome bleed valves with the radiators (as well as pipe shrouds and wall fixers) which really finish them off beautifully. Really really happy with the overall look.

This is my second radiator that I have purchased and this one was installed in our lounge after the "warming experience" of the one in our renovated bedroom
There is just no comparison with normal steel panel radiator, both in looks and heat efficiency. The ability for cast iron radiators to slowly release heat and keep a lovely constant warm temperature must not be underestimated.
Would highly recommend Cast Iron Radiator Co

Very pleased with this - it has transformed my room and added a little bit of 'industrial chic' to my lounge. Longer to heat up than a standard rad, but the pay-off is that it remains hot, long after the heating has gone off. Planning to buy more, very happy.

  Lovely radiator

I ordered the Short Princess 2 column 560mm radiator painted in pewter and collected it to save delivery costs, as I lived nearby. It's worth visiting if you can, as the architectural yard they have is full of great stuff (I bought an oak coal skuttle as well as the radiator).

The style and finish are fantastic - it really looks good in my Art Deco furnished home.

Be prepared for how heavy the radiators are though! This was relatively small, at only 1 metre long, but was very tiring getting it up to the third floor flat where I live.

However, it is worth it. I had it installed yesterday and it looks so much better than the steel panel raditor it replaced. It throws off enough heat as well, thanks to the BTGU / size calculator provided by the website.

  Product & Support

Hello,

I'd just like to share my feedback from my recent order.

I was thoroughly impressed with both the product and the service I received from you guys. When I had technical questions about how to paint the radiators myself, or how to attach a wall stay, you were quick and happy to help me. When I also had a technical problem with one of our radiators, you quickly sent out a replacement part for free and this was really great to see - out of all the suppliers we've used during our house refurb, you've been by far the best to work with, so many thanks for that.

I'll be sure to order from you guys again when we need some more cast iron radiators.

Thanks again,
Peter
