We contacted an electrician to install them and he bought them through an electrical wholesaler. They are also on sale on the internet, a company called TLC direct (?) and others.
Replacement work took a few hours, only needed to remove old heaters, assemble new ones and reconnect cable.
If you do this, you'll probably notice a TERRIBLE smell for the first couple of days. This is actually nothing to worry about and is something to do with the storage bricks drying out if they are at all damp.
