Cast Iron Period Radiators

Original cast iron radiators in North Oxford villas are significant period features. We work carefully between the columns with a suitable brush.

Heat-Resistant Paint Systems

Standard emulsion or gloss is not appropriate for radiators. We use heat-resistant radiator primer and enamel topcoat formulated for sustained high temperatures.

Panel Radiator Painting

Standard panel radiators still require heat-resistant products. Surface preparation includes degreasing and light sanding.

As Part of Room Repaints

Radiators are most efficiently painted as part of a full room repaint. See our interior painting page for full scope.

Here’s How It Works

1. Radiator Assessment

We check existing paint condition, look for corrosion or heavy build-up.

2. Radiator Cooled

The radiator must be fully cold before preparation or painting begins.

3. Surface Preparation

Degreasing and light sanding. Stripping back in areas with failing paint.

4. Primer Application

Heat-resistant radiator primer applied to all surfaces.

5. Topcoat Application

Heat-resistant enamel applied in thin coats. Typically two coats for full coverage.

Radiator Painting Costs in Oxford

Radiator painting typically ranges from £60 to £200 per radiator.

Radiator Type

Cast iron period radiators with multiple columns take longer than standard panel radiators.

Preparation Needed

Severe yellowing, chipping, or heavy paint build-up require more preparation time.

Colour Change

Changing from white to a coloured finish may require a blocking primer stage. Call 01865 537996 for a precise quote.
