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.

As the radiators are hand assembled, all dimensions are approximate. We therefore advise that pipework should only be put in place once the radiator has been delivered.

Bush Ends
All bush ends/caps will only be hand tight to allow customers to interchange if on a gravity fed heating system & will need fitting correctly when installed with PTFE etc.

Accessories & Bleed Valves

Air Vents/bleed valves will be in an SEALED ORANGE BAG inside this bow with a bright yellow sticker stating 'Bleed Valves Enclosed'.

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 invaldate 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. Its 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.

Therefore, and strictly as a guide only, we would say for the approximate pipe centres for each cast iron radiator, to add on the approximate measurements listed on the table below to the overall length of the radiator shown on the Specification tab.

Valve Pipe Centre's (measurements taken from end of thread to valve centre)*
Control Lockshield
Shipston 42mm 42mm
Stratford / Loxley Gothic / Arden /
Meriden / Welford Lever Handle
45mm 45mm
Kenilworth / Barford 49mm 49mm
Warwick 54mm 54mm

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).

Radiator

Delivery was on time, everything came as expected. The radiator looks lovely, the only issue I had was there were a few marks on the radiator where it looked like it had been dragged slightly on concrete(maybe in transit) I didn't mind to much as I bought some touch up paint with a previous purchase so still scored 5* as the radiator is lovely. It just took a little from the overall experience


 Review by:

Everything as good as the last order, we have now completed our goals with fitting every room with a cast iron radiator, it's been a splendid journey over a few years, but they are fantastic with heating, they certainly are very eye catching with our friends and family visits, we are very happy with the radiators and very happy with the service 👏


 Review by:

More like a piece of furniture than a radiator!

We’ve just had our gorgeous antique bronze Ascot radiators installed & they look absolutely fabulous. A perfect aged colour which makes them look sooo expensive.
Compared to other online companies, these were considerably cheaper.
We’d previously ordered some black Matt school type ones for upstairs, which are also fab.
Great service from Tina in Ryton.
Fast delivery time & great customer service & communication all round😊

Top Class Product

A first rate Product, had been looking for a while and found this company, able to spec out to suit requirement and built to order very quickly. Great communication, quick lead time and really well priced, the finished radiator looks amazing.


 Review by:

Stunning.

Quite simply stunning.
We ordered three of these for our bedrooms and they look incredible.
The product supplied by these guys is of great quality, delivered in good time and most importantly looks the part.


 Review by:

Gorgeous and well made

We have bought two radiators, this Ascot and the Art Noveau for our Victorian terrace. They have both instantly improved the aesthetics in each bedroom (replacing standard modern radiators), and in the case of this one, the room actually heats better. They are both sturdy and beautifully made, and we are very happy with it in its black primer finish.

More rads

Rads arrived. Awesome as always. Service impeccable.
We used these guys for over 13 years now. They have supplied 17 radiators over the time for us and our clients and would not go anywhere else.


 Review by:

Superb!!

A stunning, solid, yet elegant cast iron radiator, created, and dispatched efficiently and pretty speedily. Perfect for the room, sitting well against an old brick wall. Would highly recommend this company for good customer service, helpful information and value too. They updated my order as requested with no trouble at all too - very slick service.


 Review by:

Very pleased. Good quality and excellent service. Waiting for plumber to come and fit!!!

Excellent Radiator

A really beautiful radiator. So pleased with it.


 Review by:

What a beautiful radiator, have bought this for my bay window, it’s so chunky and robust looking as well as elegant and stylish. I went for the Matt black as feel this will never date. I would return for another radiator in the future for areas where you can appreciate them. Very impressed with the whole process. I have not yet fitted the radiator as the bay window requires some work. I hoping this will warm up my front room next winter.


 Review by:

Very pleased with the service we received whenever we contacted this company and the radiators are of high quality and excellent the paint finish is as requested. We had to change delivery date but this was no trouble, they have been most helpful . We purchased 3 radiators of different sizes and style and very happy. The prices are good and ordering easy.


 Review by:

so cute

I love my little rad, and it sits beautifully below my hallway window. Gives off fantastic heat and makes an average hallway a special one instead.

Fantastic quality and the service from start to finish was amazing!
So glad I found this company can't believe their prices & quality of the radiators compared to all the other companies out there.


 Review by:

Flawless!

I can't believe the quality and price these guys offer, I have several cast iron radiators and bought some more from these guys and from start to delivery was an excellent professional account. I don't really do reviews but this had to be done! You will not be disappointed on any level. Massive thanks and I will be purchasing more in the very near future 😁

I have just received my cast iron radiator, and am very pleased with both the radiator and the service received.The customer services and radiator were first class.


 Review by:

Ascot Cast Iron Radiator

Fantastic service. Called the workshop when I wasn't sure of my requirements and was talked through the whole process and given some new ideas. Was not talked down to, I'm not a plumber!, and was left feeling that I knew the product and what to expect.
When the radiators arrived, the builder unloaded them and gave me a call to say how impressed he was with them. "They are right on point".

Fantastic service and product, I would recommend them time and time again.


 Review by:

pleasant company to deal with

Very pleased. Match the two I have already, Will buy two more larger ones when the summer comes


 Review by:

Very Impressed

Stunning period radiator

Beautiful addition to any period home. This is the second one we've bought, both lovely finishing touches to room restorations. They actually provide quite a bit of heat as well, so both form and function!


 Review by:

I love the elegance and style of the radiator, it warms up fairly quickly and also holds the heat for along time, even though it is not very big it does exactly what I wanted it to do.
