Radiator installation in Kent
From your boiler to your radiators, your central heating system is at the heart of every home. But if your radiators aren’t up to scratch, you won’t benefit from your boiler’s hard work (and your hard-earned money).
We’re here to ensure your radiators play their part in keeping your home toasty warm.
How can our radiator fitters help
We are Gas-safe registered heating engineers in Kent with decades of experience installing, replacing, and repairing radiators.
Whether you need additional radiators or want to change your existing radiators, our plumbing services cover every type of radiator installation and repair.
Fit new radiators
If you’re extending your property, you’ll need additional radiators to heat the extra space. Our skilled fitters have decades of experience installing new radiators. Adding a new radiator and balancing it within an existing central heating system is a job for a qualified heating engineer.
Replacing radiators
One unruly radiator can let down your entire central heating system, leaving you feeling the chill. If your radiators are past the point of repair or you want something new that matches your decor, we can replace your existing radiators with ones that blend efficiency with style.
Relocating your rads
Are you trying to plan your room’s layout around one inconveniently placed radiator? Our engineers can relocate your existing radiators to somewhere better suited. And if you need a different size or type of radiator to meet your changing requirements, we can do that, too.
Choosing the right radiators
Long gone are the days when your choice of radiators was limited. Today, you can choose from various designer radiators in a range of colours and materials, from cast iron to steel and aluminium – all to suit your style and decor.
Our radiator installers are well-placed to help you pick the right size and type of radiator to heat your space efficiently.

DIY vs professional radiator installation
Fitting a new radiator might appear like a quick and easy DIY job, but the reality can be quite different (it could even end with a costly repair job if something goes wrong). For a confident DIY-er, replacing an existing radiator of the same size is doable, but installing a new radiator with different fittings is a job for a plumber.
When we install new radiators, we ensure they are in sync with the rest of the central heating system for consistent and balanced heat throughout your home. Our heating engineers are skilled in getting the job done efficiently with minimum fuss and maximum output.

FAQs on radiator installation
Is there something we’ve missed? You might find the answer in our frequently asked questions on radiator installation.
Do I need a plumber to install a new radiator?
If you’re swapping like-for-like, you may be able to replace the radiator yourself; however, radiator installs with pipe modifications require a qualified plumber.
Whether you’re adding a new radiator or relocating an existing one, you’ll almost certainly need a professional.
How much does it cost to install a radiator?
The cost of installing a radiator is determined by the type of radiator, the complexity of the installation, and where you live in the UK. Vertical radiators, for example, are more expensive than standard radiators. Modifications like thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs) can also add to the cost.
Can you put a radiator on any wall?
You can add a radiator to any wall, but its location must allow for easy connection to the central heating system’s pipework. Ask your plumber whether the pipes need rerouting to reach the new location, as this can add to the installation cost.
Are radiators expensive to install?
Your choice of radiator and the complexity of the job determines how much you will pay for your radiator installation. For the best deal, compare multiple quotes from local heating and plumbing companies before choosing an installer.
