FAQs

Do I need a pro to fit a radiator?

Confident DIYers can handle swaps; new pipe runs and electrics should be left to qualified pros.

What height should I mount a radiator?

Follow manufacturer guidance and allow airflow; avoid tight boxing that traps heat.

Can I paint without removing the radiator?

Yes, but for the best finish remove and refit using proper isolation and protection.
