Winchester radiator colour change service
The right coating for a radiator is a heat-stable 2K acrylic or polyurethane enamel — not standard radiator paint, which yellows and shows brush marks. We spray this in the workshop and rehang the same day.
Comparable projects

- Regular radiator resprays across residential and boutique-commercial
- Cast-iron profile preservation on Victorian and Edwardian radiators
Why the setting changes the work
Listed Georgian and Regency townhouses around the Cathedral Close, flint-and-brick cottages in St Cross, plus modern executive estates around Badger Farm.
Audience: Homeowners wanting radiators and pipework matched or contrasted to the wall colour without replacement.
How the job is sequenced
A short walk-round gives us the site facts we need to price this properly rather than round-average it.

Pedestrianised High Street access windows are early-morning only — we coordinate with WCC for permit work and dust-screen any pavement frontage.
