Radiators & Heating Controls in Belper
Radiator replacements, additional radiators, TRVs, smart thermostats and heating-control upgrades designed to improve comfort and control around your home.
Better comfort, control and efficiency
A heating upgrade is not only about fitting a new radiator. Correct radiator sizing, valve selection, balancing and controls all affect how comfortable the property feels and how effectively the heating system runs.
- Replacement and additional radiators
- Vertical, column and compact radiator options
- Thermostatic radiator valves and lockshields
- Smart thermostats and programmable controls
- Heating zones and control upgrades
- System balancing and pipework alterations
Correct sizing
Radiators selected to suit the room, heat loss and available wall space.
Room control
TRVs help individual rooms maintain a comfortable temperature.
Smart controls
Modern controls can make heating schedules easier to manage.
System balance
Balancing helps distribute heat more evenly through the system.
Radiator and control upgrades we carry out
We can replace a single radiator or plan a wider heating upgrade. Where performance has been poor, we also look at pipework, valves, circulation and controls rather than simply installing a larger emitter.
- Radiator replacement in existing positions
- New radiator positions and pipe alterations
- TRVs, lockshields and decorative valves
- Smart thermostats and time controls
- Cold radiator and circulation fault investigation
- System balancing following alterations
Different types of radiators for different rooms
Radiators should be selected for the room's heat requirement, available wall space, pipework and the temperature the heating system is designed to run at. We can replace like-for-like emitters or help plan a wider heating upgrade.
Panel radiators
Compact steel panel radiators including Type 11, Type 21, Type 22 and Type 33 options. Useful where more heat output is needed without greatly increasing wall width.

Column radiators
Traditional and contemporary column styles with a wide choice of heights and widths. A good option where appearance matters as much as heat output.

Vertical radiators
Ideal where horizontal wall space is limited. We size them for the room rather than choosing on appearance alone.

Designer radiators
Decorative finishes and shapes for kitchens, hallways and living spaces, with output checked against the actual room requirement.

Towel radiators
Bathroom and en-suite towel warmers in a range of sizes and finishes. Where appropriate we can also discuss dual-fuel options.

TRVs
Thermostatic radiator valves allow individual rooms to be turned down independently and can be fitted when radiators are replaced.
Programmers & timers
Clear time scheduling for heating and hot water, including replacement of older or unreliable controls.
Smart thermostats
App-enabled controls where compatible with the boiler and system, giving easier scheduling and remote temperature control.
System balancing
After alterations we can balance radiator flow so heat is distributed more evenly rather than simply turning the boiler temperature up.
ADEY system flush where circulation is poor
If radiators suffer from cold spots, dirty system water or poor circulation, the problem may be contamination rather than radiator size. Where suitable, we can clean a wet central-heating system using ADEY MagnaCleanse equipment and appropriate system chemicals.
- Assessment before recommending a flush
- Removal of magnetite, sludge and circulating debris
- Radiator agitation where required
- System rinse, inhibitor and final balancing
- Useful before some boiler or heat-pump upgrades
Frequently asked questions
Can you replace just one radiator?
Yes. We can replace individual radiators, change styles or sizes and adapt the valves and pipework where required.
How do you choose the right radiator size?
The required output depends on room size, construction, insulation, glazing and design temperature. For larger upgrades we consider heat loss rather than simply matching the old radiator.
Can you fit smart heating controls?
Yes, subject to compatibility with the boiler and existing system. We can advise on suitable thermostat and control arrangements.
Do new radiators need new valves?
Not always, but replacing worn valves or fitting TRVs is often sensible while the system is drained. Decorative valves can also be fitted where appearance matters.
Why are some radiators colder than others?
Possible causes include balancing, trapped air, valve faults, sludge, restricted pipework or circulation problems. We can investigate before recommending work.
