    hi,

    am looking to buy a bathroom radiator with a heated towel rail. it would need to be about 2500btu.
    have looked in b+q and homebase and they seem to be about 600euro.

    any other places selling them at a better price?

    any other tips/advice?

    thanks.

    Go to one of the more trade specific places rather than the likes of B&Q etc.

    Try Arcon, Hevac, Heatmerchants, Davies, PH Ross, H&V Sales, Chadwicks, ATC, etc. Most have showrooms so you can put in and get some brochures.

    You'll find all the numbers and addresses in the phonebook or on line.

    nice one teflon.

    there must be a huge mark up on these type of rads,that seems like a good deal though.

    There's a huge markup on most stuff that they sell in the likes of B&Q. I work in the trade and I find it hilarious how much they get away with charging for plumbing fittings and the like.
