Absolutely wonderful restored original radiators! We are so pleased with our radiators - they really do compliment our Edwardian house. The radiators our a fine piece of furniture on their own. They create such a wow factor when entering the room - all our friends have loved them too. We will definitely replace the rest of our standard white radiator in our house. Please be aware of many companies on the internet that also sell cast iron radiators - most of these are made in China and are not original and restored radiators like what you will find at - The Old Radiator Company.

Before I visited The Old Radiator company, I merely thought of radiators as appliances, but the six reclaimed and lovingly restored radiators we purchased from them are just as much a centrepiece of the rooms they reside in. The staff couldn't have been more helpful, especially in accommodating our frequently changing minds when it came to deciding on a colour. Steph and Fiona never failed to answer my many questions via email and over the phone, and Andy's banter in the showroom made us feel as warm as their radiators. Finally, to Michael the delivery guy, who more than assisted us in carrying

Bored with a bog standard radiator? Want something with character and make a feature in your room? Check out The Old Radiator Company then. Amazing stock of old, cast iron radiators to choose from. Very knowledgeable and helpful staff to get you what you want. Easily fits in to your existing heating system and retains heat far longer than the usual type. Highly recommended for something a bit different to enhance your room. Picture 1 in the yard. Picture 2 in my lounge.

We are renovating a 1840's house in Stockwell and needed reclaimed radiators to fit the part. Fiona was very helpful. Lots of styles - where they get them all from I have no idea! A trip to see her answered all the questions and you can see the colours/ valves and shrouds etc. We bought 8 and it was all very efficient. Thanks very much. Nick Curtis

I hardly ever leave a review but, in this instance, I felt it warranted it. First of all, the product. I bought two radiators and they are stunning! One of the radiators was powder coated white for our bedroom and the other I spent a bit extra and, had it polished. The finish is beautiful, and is the centrepiece to our living room. The staff were so helpful as I had lots of questions and I could not make my mind up. The girls sent loads of pictures to me and gave advice. I chose the Crane style of radiator and used the valves/brackets that are supplied by the company. They are more expensive than

Overly expensive. Much cheaper and better fireplaces and radiators available on line. I saved over 2000 elsewhere!!
