I don't think the Screwfix radiators are made by Stelrad, but they are very cheap. I was going to get some Stelrads from

but instead, I got a better deal on some Biasi rads from my local plumbers merchant.

Try Plumb Centre for current offers
Looked at Biasi last night.
Cheers for the info :))
W"ill do, they are just down the road :))
Go to your local Grahams with the prices they have to beat.

They're the brand sold by B&Q, so make your own conclusions.

are a discounted seller for Plumbcenter - and I mean 40-60% discount - have a look there & maybe get some quality gear (Stelrad, Myson) at a reasonable price. I bought from them for my system & used Stelrad Elite radiators in the P+ style; that's 2 radiator panels with a single convector element between, which I found less obtrusive that the more commonly used double (panel) convector. See the site for details.
Yes, cheers.
This is the sort of info I want. Cheers :))
Bought a screwfix rad about a year ago for the bathroom. I wouldn't recommend them as it's got loads of rust at the bottom now. I wouldn't be surprised if it starts leaking soon.
Got B&Q ones for the rest of the house and they seem fine. I had one in the bathroom for about as long (replaced due to new bathroom) and it didn't rust half as much - although in my opinion if it was of any quality it wouldn't have rusted at all.
You may have saved me some problems then :))
When I bought a rad from B&Q a year or so back, it was obviously a Stelrad unit. I admit I've not checked since.
I wouldn't recommend Barlo (as found in Wickes) for the same reason. The paint was clearly applied with the panel sat on its base, leaving a poorly finished bottom seam. I had two rust away in the bathroom as a result. Switched to a Stelrad unit from B&Q. Much better paint finish, although it is noticeably creamy-white. Still, beats rust brown...
They were selling those off about a year ago and now stock some brand beginning with 'B' but can't remember the whole name. Looked a bit crap IMO.
Fairy nuff.
