Yes — we fit radiators across all Edinburgh areas including Morningside, Stockbridge, Leith, Bruntsfield, Marchmont, Newington, Murrayfield, Corstorphine, Portobello, Trinity, Inverleith, Liberton, Blackhall, Gorgie, Davidson's Mains and surrounding Lothians. Radiator swap jobs (same location) can often be completed same week.

Yes — we install new radiators, swap like-for-like, add to existing systems, or relocate radiators in all Edinburgh property types including Georgian New Town flats, Victorian tenements, 1960s semis, and modern builds. We extend pipework as needed and ensure the correct sizing for each room.

Radiator sizing depends on room volume, insulation quality, number of windows, and their type (single/double glazed). As a rough guide for Edinburgh homes: small bedroom (10m²) — 3,000–4,000 BTU; living room (20m²) — 6,000–8,000 BTU; kitchen/diner (30m²) — 8,000–12,000 BTU. We always carry out proper BS EN 12831 heat loss calculations.

Absolutely — TRVs are one of the best value heating upgrades for Edinburgh homes. They allow each room to find its own temperature, prevent overheating, and typically save 10–15% on heating bills. We fit Honeywell, Drayton, or Danfoss TRVs as standard with all new radiators unless you specifically request manual valves.

Yes — we relocate radiators regularly, especially during Edinburgh kitchen and bathroom renovations. The main cost factors are the length of new pipework required and floor construction (suspended timber or solid concrete). We'll quote for the pipework modification at free survey and can board-over the old pipe holes neatly.

Yes — designer radiators can look stunning in Edinburgh Georgian and Victorian properties. We supply and install column radiators (traditional cast-iron style in anthracite, white or chrome), vertical radiators, and bespoke statement pieces. We ensure the BTU output matches your room's heat requirements and that the flow/return connections align with your existing pipework.

Not with TRVs installed — individual radiators with TRVs will close off once the room reaches its set temperature, even while the boiler is running for other rooms. For more advanced zone control, we can install zone valves and a multi-zone smart thermostat (like Honeywell Evohome) for full room-by-room scheduling.

Signs your Edinburgh radiator needs replacing: cold spots that don't resolve after bleeding, visible corrosion or rust staining on walls, leaks from body or welds, radiator over 20 years old and noisy, or it simply doesn't produce enough heat for the room. We'll diagnose at free survey whether repair or replacement is more cost-effective.

Yes — we install both plumbed (hydronic) and electric heated towel rails. Plumbed rails connect to your central heating system and are cheaper to run long-term. Electric models are simpler to install and can run independently of the boiler — ideal for Edinburgh summer months when the heating is off. We advise on the best option for your bathroom layout and usage.
