Leicester’s Radiator Painting Specialists
Panel Radiators
Modern panel radiators lose their finish over time, yellowing from heat and chipping from contact. We degrease and sand back before any new coat.
Radiators must be cool when painted. We advise on timing if the heating is in regular use.
Cast Iron and Column Radiators
Cast iron column radiators in Stoneygate and Clarendon Park are both functional and decorative. Rust must be treated with a rust-neutralising product before primer.
Leicester Decorators paint column radiators off the heating system. Where removal is practical, we advise on this for the best finish.
Radiator Colours and New Radiator Priming
Radiator Colours
White and off-white are the most widely chosen finishes. Anthracite grey is popular on modern panel radiators. Colour-matching a radiator to the wall is possible.
Leicester Decorators can colour-match most standard emulsion colours in a heat-resistant radiator paint.
New Radiator Priming
New or replacement radiators require priming before their installation finish is topcoated. Factory-applied primers are not always adequate for a full decorative finish.
We carry out priming as part of the wider room project.
Here’s How It Works
1. Radiator Assessment
We check the type, condition, rust, chipping, and valve condition before quoting.
2. Surface Preparation
Radiator turned off and cooled. Degreased, sanded, and rust-treated where needed.
3. Priming
Heat-resistant metal primer applied to bare or heavily sanded sections.
4. Topcoat Application
One or two coats of heat-resistant enamel applied by brush.
5. Drying and Inspection
Radiator inspected after the final coat. Heating left off for the drying period.
