Hi we have had issues today,radiator decided to spring a leak along the bottom seam.
I have no idea what to buy to replace it,i mean what do i need to look for,eg trade name,etc etc.
The plumber will be fitting it for me,i have not got a clue !!

I would avoid Quinn, especially if purchased from Wickes, a very bad combination of graded 2nds and Wickes' poor handling. That is unless you want poor quality paint work and scratches.

Have a look at Screwfix for some basic examples.

Aluminium radiators can be more efficient. Generally aim for ones which hold less water.

We used Apollo Modena a few years ago which seem rather good.

Stelrad radiators were all recommended by the gas engineers who provided quotes for me when I had a new CH system put in.

Even subsequent plumbers and gas engineers who have done additional work since have commented that Stelrad are very good radiators.

Purmo seem to be used quite a lot round our way.
