Made-to-Measure Cast Iron Radiators UK | Period Homes

We spent 20 years learning that radiators aren't just about heating.

For two decades, we've supplied radiators for period homes—and we kept seeing the same problem.

A beautifully restored Georgian hallway would have original cornicing, traditional colours, timber floors and period details...

Then someone would install a modern steel radiator.

Technically, it worked.

Visually, it didn't.

That's what pushed us to build our own cast iron radiators.

Instead of forcing homeowners to choose from fixed sizes, each radiator is assembled section by section in our UK factory. That gives us much more flexibility over length, heat output and configuration.

Need a 2-metre radiator for a draughty Victorian living room?

We can build it.

Need a compact 4-section radiator for a small country cottage?

We can build that too.

And cast iron isn't only about aesthetics.

Its thermal mass means it continues radiating heat after the boiler switches off, creating a slower, more consistent warmth than the quick blast you often get from modern radiators.

We also wanted people to have control over the finish.

Simple column designs, decorative castings, painted finishes, antiquing, highlighting and hand-polishing are all available. We can even colour-match finishes to popular heritage paint ranges.

After 20 years of working with Georgian terraces, Victorian houses, cottages and contemporary farmhouses, we've learned something simple:

The right radiator shouldn't look like an afterthought. It should belong in the room.

That's the thinking behind our cast iron radiator collection.

If you're restoring a period property—or simply want a radiator with more character—I'd be interested to hear what you think.
