Radiators
Posted: November 25th, 2018, 6:26 pm
Hi
As ever, I am facing difficulties with trades people.
Before I can get my new floor (the guys are lined up for that) I need to change a radiator as it is too long and goes behind my sideboard (my gin is getting mulled!). In doing so, I would like to change all three downstairs radiators to a more modern style so they look nice with the new floor and curtains.
The plumber is lined up and has quoted but is not capable of helping me to buy the things.
So, I have measured and the plumber has determined the btu I need (9,000 for the living room, he didn't do the kitchen) and looked around to find them.
And I seem incapable of finding a place that stocks all three (I'm not *that* fussy on style, but I do want them all the same and a newer flat panel style), has them in stock, can deliver etc. One local place has something that would do (I'm not over awed by them though) but I can't order online and I won't be able to go in there this week. This style: https://www.plumbase.co.uk/barlo-slieve ... 44-2201583
B&Q don't do ones I like and their website is a nightmare.
Because all three are different sizes and need different btu, I need a website with lots of functional options - so I need to be able to set the height, width and specify single or double to get the btu right.
So, DIYers, which website would you use? Where have you found to be reliable for this sort of thing please?
(and why oh why is it so difficult to get trades people to do work!?)
Thanks
Mel
