I don't think the Screwfix radiators are made by Stelrad, but they are very
cheap.
I was going to get some Stelrads from http://www.bhl.co.uk/shop/ but
instead, I got a better deal on some Biasi rads from my local plumbers
merchant.

Try Plumb Centre for current offers

Go to your local Grahams with the prices they have to beat.

They're the brand sold by B&Q, so make your own conclusions.

http://discountedheating.co.uk/ are a discounted seller for Plumbcenter -
and I mean 40-60% discount - have a look there & maybe get some quality
gear (Stelrad, Myson) at a reasonable price. I bought from them for my
system & used Stelrad Elite radiators in the P+ style; that's 2 radiator
panels with a single convector element between, which I found less
obtrusive that the more commonly used double (panel) convector. See the
site for details.

Yes, cheers.

This is the sort of info I want. Cheers :))

Bought a screwfix rad about a year ago for the bathroom. I wouldn't
recommend them as it's got loads of rust at the bottom now. I wouldn't be
surprised if it starts leaking soon.

Got B&Q ones for the rest of the house and they seem fine. I had one in the
bathroom for about as long (replaced due to new bathroom) and it didn't rust
half as much - although in my opinion if it was of any quality it wouldn't
have rusted at all.

You may have saved me some problems then :))

When I bought a rad from B&Q a year or so back, it was obviously a Stelrad
unit. I admit I've not checked since.

I wouldn't recommend Barlo (as found in Wickes) for the same reason. The
paint was clearly applied with the panel sat on its base, leaving a poorly
finished bottom seam. I had two rust away in the bathroom as a result.
Switched to a Stelrad unit from B&Q. Much better paint finish, although it
is noticeably creamy-white. Still, beats rust brown...

They were selling those off about a year ago and now stock some brand
beginning with 'B' but can't remember the whole name. Looked a bit crap
IMO.
