for reasonable prices

Need to update some radiators, can't really find much with more than a 2 year guarantee

Any thoughts?

Very unusual. Normally most radiators have years of warranty (whether it's worth anything is different story). This page days 15 year..

No real need for a warranty on a radiator surely? It has no moving parts and unless you are taking a hammer to them, are fairly robust.

Im sure the t&c's will say any corrosion due to lack of inhibitor in the system voids the warranty as well.

But stelrad get my vote for quality & Kudox from screwfix for the value option. They usually have a free trv and lockshield offer on too.

Most of the radiators in my house are 38 years old and not one has failed

If I was looking to buy a replacement one I'd be happy with a 12 mth guarantee - if it doesn't leak or give issues in 12 mths it's unlikely to give problems later

Yes, it's like trying to get a warranty on a house brick, why bother?
When I first renovated my house about 25yrs ago I could only afford second hand rads, they're still in!
