Kitchen is being "done" in May and we need to find a radiator. Due to how we've designed the kitchen, there is only one space for it and we are looking for a tall (say 1800) but narrow (maybe up to 400 but more likely 300) radiator.

Where's the best place to look. Are they all "much of a muchness" or should I steer clear of Screwfix et al and go somewhere specific ?

If you have any online recommendations or can vouch for the normal run of the mill places it would be much appreciated.

What should I be looking out for ?

Don't think I've bought a radiator in 10 years !

Hydronic plinth heaters are the way to go these days. You can then redesign your kitchen so that you can use the wall space that you have set aside for the radiator and use it for kitchen units instead.

Did look at these but decided against as we don’t like the way the break up the look of the plinth under the cupboards. Tall narrow radiator is for us.

Thanks for responses so far.
