Column radiator supply and fit
Column radiators give the look of an old cast-iron radiator, and they suit period homes very well. We supply them and fit them. Send us photos on WhatsApp and we reply with a fixed quote.
What we do
Photos first, fixed quote, then the work
Four steps, so you know where you stand.
Step 1: Send photos
WhatsApp photos of the wall, the current radiator and its valves, with rough measurements.
Step 2: Choose the style
We help you choose the height, width and number of columns, and we supply the radiator.
Step 3: Fixed quote
We reply with a fixed quote that says what is included, before any work starts.
Step 4: Fitted and tested
We fit it on suitable fixings, refill, bleed and balance, then check the heat.
Why column radiators suit period homes
Victorian and Edwardian houses are common across SE London, and a column radiator looks right in them. Tall, narrow column radiators also work where wall space is tight, such as hallways, kitchens and bathrooms.
The heat output depends on the height, the width and the number of columns, not just the look. Tell us the room and we will help you choose a size that heats it properly.
What to know before you buy
Column radiators are heavier than a standard panel radiator when full of water, so the wall and fixings matter. A plasterboard wall needs the right fixings into the studs or behind it. We check this when we look at your photos.
A column radiator is often taller and narrower than a panel radiator with a similar output, so measure the space and send us the numbers. We work mainly on combination boiler heating systems.
What to send us on WhatsApp
- The wall where it will go, with the floor visible
- The radiator you have now, and its valves
- Rough width and height of the space
- A photo of the boiler
- Anything you have already seen and like

Send photos on WhatsAppFrequently asked questions
How much do column radiators cost?
There is no set price, because it depends on the size, style and the job. Send us photos on WhatsApp and we will give you a fixed quote.
Do you supply the radiators or do I buy them?
We supply and fit column radiators, delivered to you. Tell us what you have in mind and we will include it in the fixed quote.
Can a column radiator replace my old panel radiator?
Usually yes. The pipework may need small changes, and the size should suit the room. Send photos and measurements and we will say what the swap involves.
Will my wall take the weight?
Column radiators are heavier than panel radiators, especially full of water. We choose fixings to suit the wall, and photos help us tell you what is needed.
Can you move the radiator at the same time?
Yes, see radiator replacement and moving.
