RADIATOR INSTALLATION
Installing a radiator is not necessarily something that you need to call a plumber about. Many people will often purchase their radiator from the Internet and then set about fitting it themselves, therefore completely avoiding plumber costs. We have done some videos featuring Jimmy the plumber who explains the process step by step. However, as Jimmy points out, it's not always straightforward, so if you aren't sure about anything, it's better to give a professional plumber a call.

These two videos explain in detail exactly how thermostatic radiator valves work and what you need to do if you want to fit or replace one.
