What we found
The plumbing fault
The decorative replacement used different valve positions and connections from the existing radiator, so the original pipes could not simply be reused in place.

Ornate cast-iron-style radiator installed in Aylestone
An Aylestone customer asked AFS to replace a standard panel radiator with a distinctive black-and-gold cast-iron-style radiator, with the appointment arranged for a time that suited them.
What AFS did
Diagnosis and repair
We removed the old radiator, lifted and refitted the necessary floorboards, altered the heating pipework and installed matching decorative valves. The new radiator was then connected, filled and checked for secure operation and leaks.
Useful guidance
What to watch for
When choosing a decorative or cast-iron-style radiator, check its size, weight, heat output and valve positions as well as its appearance. Allowing for pipework and floor alterations before installation helps avoid makeshift connections and produces a neater result.
