    CWD, what styles are you after?

    I bought a couple of anthracite-finish column rads from eBay and they were superb quality - and a great price.

    For conventional rads, Kudox rads from SF are a safe bet.
    Hi  @Jeepers_Creepers , do you have a eBay link for these? Thanks

    I just thought I'd report back. I ended up with an Acova column rad from Screwfix as all the reviews seemed good, and I bought valves separately as I wanted corner entry ones. (These I got from my friendly local plumbing merchants.)  So far, so good. It heats up quickly and evenly, no issues at all.

    I'll definitely use them for the next room.
