Our liability does not extend beyond the repair or replacement of the product supplied by us. Claims for either labour or damage to property are not admissible.

Paint Finishes There may be a slight variation in the colour of the delivered radiator/s from the colours shown on the website and colour charts. This is due to manufacturing tolerances in the paint or light conditions of any photographs taken showing the examples of the finishes we can supply.

Adjusting Pipe Work Prior To Delivery Whilst we endeavour to ensure all pipe centre dimensions are correct, tolerances must be considered, therefore, we strongly recommend that pipe work is not altered or adjusted until the radiator is fixed in its final position. The Old Radiator Company will not accept any responsibility for any claims relating to inaccurate pipe centre information.

Commissioning The Old Radiator Company recommend a suitable inhibitor and inline filter is used to protect against scale, corrosion and bacterial growth in all types of indirect central heating systems including those containing aluminium.
