Radiator Restoration

Restoring radiators is a passion for us.

Victorian radiators can be fully reconditioned to run happily on a modern heating system, perfectly compatible with thermostatic valves, heat pumps and biomass boilers. Prices start from £350 for smaller radiators and from £600 for larger or more complex restorations.

We can add modern energy-saving controls for improved comfort and there is usually no need for new pipework, making reinstallation uncomplicated. On top of this, our collection and redelivery service makes it all trouble-free. The customer support team will consult and guide you throughout the process.

Reasons to Restore

Environmental benefits

Peer-reviewed work we have done with Salford university shows that a refurbished cast iron radiator has a carbon footprint 95% lower than that of a new one.

Iron is one of the world’s most recycled metals. Cast iron radiators are made from scrap; and at the end of their very long lives will themselves be re-melted once again to form something new. This means that the antique metal you are refurbishing could have an even longer history than you think.

Preserve a piece of history

Cast iron radiators are among the few original technologies that can be restored to full working order today. Some of the radiators we have restored have endured through both world wars, the invention of the Ford Model T and even zippers on coats. 

Choosing restoration breathes new life into a remarkable piece of historic engineering, one rich in character and embedded in the social and industrial histories of Britain, Europe, and America. Our skilled craftsmen can bring your radiator back to life, allowing you to own and enjoy a tangible piece of this story.
