If you do not want to lift the floor you can purchase the same size radiators.
However, if you can’t due to the old imperial size you have then have to purchase slightly smaller radiators and add radiator extension on either side to suit existing pipework."
"Yes, I can most of the time need to alter pipes. Old and new Radiator. Size, not match, the job can still be done"
Answered on 24th Feb 2022 - Member since Jan 2022 - report"Hi Yes, this can be done. The floor may need to come up in order for the radiator to be changed. The new radiator would need to be the same size that way no pipework would need altering....which would be cost-effective for yourself."
