No obligation. - 7+ Years experience - 1,200+ Radiators fitted - Every job Heat-loss sizing - All major brands Designer radiator stockists - 12 months Workmanship guarantee Service Overview ## Radiator Installation & Replacement, explained simply. Honest, plain-English answers, what the service is, who it's for, when you need it, and why a Gas Safe specialist matters. What it is Supply and install of single radiators, full-house radiator replacements, designer vertical and horizontal radiators, towel rails, and matching valve and TRV upgrades. Who it's for Homeowners replacing cold or undersized radiators, renovating period properties, finishing bathrooms with towel rails, or upgrading to designer pieces. When you need it When a room never warms up, a radiator is cold at the top or bottom, a panel is leaking or rusted, or you're refurbishing and want the radiators to match. Why a pro matters A wrongly sized or wrongly balanced radiator leaves a room cold while the boiler keeps trying, driving up bills and wearing out parts. Properly sized radiators on a balanced system warm rooms fast and let the boiler modulate. The Cost of Ignoring It ## What it costs to wait, and the mistakes that make it worse. Most 'cold rooms' aren't a boiler problem, they're a radiator and balancing problem. If you leave it - Cold rooms even with the heating on full - Boiler running constantly to chase the thermostat - Higher bills with worse comfort - Leaking, rusting panels staining floors and skirting boards - Outdated radiators that drag down a refurbished room Common mistakes - Replacing a cold radiator without rebalancing the system - Picking a radiator by price not by output (BTU/Watts vs room heat loss) - Skipping TRVs and zoning the whole house from one thermostat - Fitting designer verticals without checking they're actually big enough Our Process ## A clear, predictable system, from first call to sign-off. 01 ### Heat-loss & sizing Each room measured and heat-loss calculated, so radiator output matches what the room actually needs. 02 ### Style & spec Choose from white panel, designer vertical, anthracite, chrome towel rail or column radiators, we show you matched valves and TRVs. 03 ### Fixed quote Itemised written quote, radiators, valves, fittings, labour, flush, balancing, no hidden extras. 04 ### Install & flush Old radiators drained and removed, brackets fitted, new units hung level, system fully flushed and inhibited. 05 ### Balance & test Every radiator balanced individually with the lockshield, TRVs commissioned, and the whole house brought up to temperature to test. The Benefits ## Why customers choose C Nixon for radiator installation & replacement. ### Warm rooms Heat-loss sizing means rooms heat fast and stay warm, no chasing the thermostat. ### Lower bills Balanced flow lets the boiler modulate down, cutting gas usage. ### Quieter system Proper bleed, balance and flow rates eliminate clicking, gurgling and banging. ### Better resale New, matched radiators visibly upgrade a refurbished room or whole property. ### Zoned comfort TRVs on every radiator (except the thermostat room) give per-room control without smart-thermostat costs. ### 12-month guarantee Full workmanship guarantee, on top of the radiator manufacturer warranty (typically 5–10 years).

How much does it cost to fit a new radiator? + Single radiator swaps and designer verticals, towel rails and column radiators are quoted individually. How long does a full-house radiator swap take? + Most 3-bed semis are completed in 1–2 working days, with heating back on quickly. Do you balance the system afterwards? + Yes, every install ends with a full system balance and flush, not just a 'fit and run'. Can you fit radiators I've bought online? + Yes, we install customer-supplied radiators and will flag any quality or sizing concerns before fitting. What size radiator do I need? + Sized to room heat loss, wall area, glazing, insulation and ceiling height all matter. We calculate this on survey rather than guess. Do you fit smart TRVs? + Yes, Tado, Drayton Wiser and Honeywell evohome smart TRVs configured and added to your app. Will fitting bigger radiators cut my bills? + Counter-intuitively, yes.
