Edinburgh's Georgian and Victorian flats have ceilings that can be well over three metres high, ornate cornicing and large sash windows. Radiators need to be generous to cope – and many owners want them to look right in a period room too.
Describe the radiators you want replaced or added and compare quotes from heating engineers who cover Edinburgh.
Period style and serious heat output
Column radiators, in steel or cast iron, are the most popular choice in Edinburgh's period flats. Engineers size them for the room's heat loss, which in a tall, stone-walled room is often much higher than people expect.
In listed buildings, running new pipes through historic floors and walls may need care, and sometimes consent. Engineers usually reuse existing pipe routes where possible and keep visible pipework to a minimum.

Radiators in Edinburgh: common questions
How big a radiator does a tall Edinburgh room need?
It depends on the room's size, height, windows and walls. Engineers calculate the heat loss and then choose a radiator with enough output.
Do I need consent for new radiators in a listed flat?
Like-for-like internal work often doesn't, but new pipe routes through historic fabric might. Check with the council if unsure.
Are period-style valves available with thermostatic heads?
Yes, many traditional-looking valves include thermostatic control.
