    10.0

    “I posted on checkatrade requiring help with plumbing and gas as I was installing a new kitchen. I received several pie in the sky quotes however RSPS wanted to price up correctly so sent someone round within 24 hours to have a proper look and ask questions, they then provided a detailed and fair quote and the work was organised quickly. They communicated very clearly throughout the process and the plumber who attended (Gerry) was fantastic. Very helpful and made sure I understood what was happening. All installed with no issues, and I have already used them for further work in my house - 10/10”

Are your radiators struggling to heat up or showing signs of rust or cold spots? It might be time to think about a new radiator installation or replacement.

Read on for everything you need to know about radiator installation in Johnstone, including costs, what's involved and who you need to hire.

How much does it cost to have a radiator installed?

Central heating radiators are the most common type of radiator in UK homes, so here are the typical costs:

  • Radiator installation (with no existing pipework): around £900+ on parts and labour
  • Pipework material and installation: an additional cost of around £275
  • Radiator replacement (using existing pipework): around £200 to remove and replace a double-panel radiator

Designer or column radiators may cost more. Stick to simple like-for-like replacements if you're after a quicker and cheaper installation. Check our radiator buying guide for a rundown of the different options.

  • Pipes are properly sealed
  • Heating is safely balanced

How long does it take to replace a radiator?

How long the job takes depends on whether it's a straightforward swap or needs new pipework, and how many radiators are involved. Your tradesperson can confirm a timeframe once they've seen the job.

It's possible to install a radiator yourself if you're confident with basic plumbing, but it's not always straightforward. You'll need to:

  • Drain the system
  • Fit valves
  • Make sure no air locks or leaks remain

For most homeowners, hiring an experienced plumber or heating engineer is a safer and more efficient option.
