  • How long until my radiator cabinet/order is ready?
    • Our lead-time for made to measure radiator covers is three to five weeks, depending on the size and complexity of the radiator cabinet order. All radiator covers and cabinets are made to order hence the lead time, sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
    • Ready-made radiator cabinets are delivered in7-10 days usually
  • Are there any risks associated with placing a cover/cabinet over the radiator? Are there any risks to children, pets or the elderly?
    • Our bespoke radiator cabinets, as well as transforming the look of your home, office or school will also act as a safety feature. With sharp metal edges and extremely hot surfaces, radiators can be very dangerous. Our cabinets are designed to protect, without reducing heat out-put. Our well-designed radiator cabinets and radiator covers will protect you and your family from possible injury without increasing your energy bills!
  • Can I place and store items on top of the cabinet safely?
    • Display items can be placed on the top of the radiator cabinet, because of the resin in the sprayed lacquer we use in the paint. It is incredibly hard and durable, feel free to place family pictures and ornaments on the radiator cover shelf.
  • Do you manufacture your own products?
    • Yes, manufacture many of our own products. Made to measure items are manufactured in the UK at our own workshop/factory. Some of our radiator cover components are manufactured in Europe. We also hold stocks of imported and British made radiator cabinet grilles. So we can respond to our customers’ requirements very quickly and provide a high level of customer service.
  • How far can you ship your designer radiator covers? Is this only a local service?
    • We work with Parcelforce to ship our radiator covers and cabinets to more remote locations and outside of the U.K., These units will be part-assembled (super simple assembly). We may not be able to honour the sale of very large cabinets (over 220cm long) to very remote locations. Please call for shipping charges outside of the UK.
  • How do I access my radiator valves once the radiator cover or cabinet is fitted?
    • Our radiator cabinets are manufactured using a catch system. This means the front of your radiator cabinet will simply open up when required to provide full access to the radiator and valves.
  • How do the radiator cabinets fit to the wall?
    • Our radiator cabinets fit to the wall using brackets already attached to the cabinet when you receive it. See our installation guide for clear installation instructions.

"I couldn’t be happier with my mirrored radiator cabinet. The workmanship is fantastic, and it makes my room look bigger. It’s definitely worth the money. The company was great to deal with, and I will definitely be purchasing another one shortly. The cabinet comes carefully packaged to avoid damage in transit. Absolutely first class. Furthermore, the delivery guy called me up and asked me when a convenient time would be for him to deliver the cabinet. As I work all day I asked for as late as possible and he turned up as agreed, on time. Very helpful. Extremely happy all round."

"Excellent people to deal with both before and after purchasing. The quality of the cabinets is superb, this is our second. Very easy to install and they look fantastic. The two lads who delivered it, late Sunday in the pouring rain could not have been more friendly or helpful."

"

Suzanne Saward

"We've just had 3 radiator covers from John having trawled the internet for months before plucking up the courage to order.

Customer service was professional and speedy, with any questions answered within hours rather than days.

We had 1 really tricky cover but having some advice from John it has turned out beautifully.

Quality of the covers is great, as is the simple installation, and I have to give a shout out to the driver. Really friendly and helpful.

We would definitely recommend John and would like to thank him for helping us finish our home."

Wayne Langford

"Great service, beautiful cover, very well made and packaged (no chance of damage in transit), highly recommended"
