Where to buy radiators?

almeida24

I'm replacing all radiators in my house (about 10) and was wondering where the best place was to get them?

I've had a look in Wickes and B&Q and found B&Q to be slightly cheaper but if Wickes are of a higher quality I would rather buy from there.

Can anyone recommend anywhere to look either online or instore for a good standard radiator with thermostatic valves at a good price?

Thanks

Have you looked at Screwfix? Not bad prices and delivered to your door.

If you do buy rads from there make sure you check them carefully on delivery BEFORE signing for them.
It's tough on the delivery driver and he won't thank you for it, but sometimes they are bashed about so bad they're not worth fitting. Reject them there and then or sign for them as "damaged on delivery" and take it up with Screwfix for replacements....

I bought 35 rads and rejected 4 due to damage to the front faces, replaced next day and all were OK second time around

Thanks for the reply. I've planned to go to screwfix at the weekend, are they generally better than Wickes and b&q?
