My current radiator is 600x520 but the only ones i can find are 600x600 or 600x408 which will be easier to fit please

600mm x 500mm is a standard size of radiator This would make the job simple by using radiator valve extensions no need to alter any pipework

Hi Barbara, The size of the new Rad won’t necessarily be an issue as pipe relocation is a simple job. You / they will need to ensure the new rad has a BTU rating equal or greater than your current rad. I would go bigger as the new pipework won’t stand out as much
