Hallway radiators
Hallway Radiators for British Homes
Every time the front door opens in January, the hallway takes the hit. In a Victorian terrace or an Edwardian semi, that draught does not stay in the hall—it travels, pulling heat out of every room it connects to. Most hallways are narrow enough that a standard radiator becomes a physical liability; a 100mm projection from the wall blocks the front door swing and creates a bottleneck. That is the problem.
Our hallway radiators are built for the strip of wall most heaters cannot fit. If you are working with limited space, a vertical hallway radiator uses height instead of width to maintain high heat output. These slim-profile units sit flush against the wall, leaving the letterbox clear and the door swing unobstructed.
Everything is built to order, from a narrow hallway radiator sized for a tight corner to a coat rack radiator designed to match the hooks you already have. You can choose from 200 colours to match your front door or tiles at no surcharge. Delivered across mainland UK. So the heat stays inside the house.
Will a vertical radiator actually warm a draughty hallway?
Standard horizontal units often struggle because the heat stays low while the draught from the front door moves above it. Our vertical hallway radiator models use height to create a more effective thermal curtain. By heating the air across a taller surface area, they offset the chill from the letterbox and door seals more efficiently than a short horizontal panel.
My hallway is barely a metre wide. Will this block the way?
This is the most common issue in British terraces. A standard radiator with a 100mm projection often blocks the door swing or catches on coats. We specify slim-profile units that sit much closer to the wall, ensuring your hallway remains a clear walkway rather than a bottleneck.
Can I really hang wet coats on a coat rack radiator?
Yes. Unlike a standard heater where draping clothes can block airflow and cause rust, a coat rack radiator is designed for this purpose. The heat helps moisture evaporate naturally from your jackets before it can settle into the rest of the house, and the finish is engineered to handle the humidity.
How do I match the radiator to my front door?
We offer over 200 RAL colours as standard. Whether you want to match a classic Farrow & Ball shade on your front door or the Victorian tiles in your entryway, we can provide a finish that looks like an intentional part of your interior design rather than a late addition.
What if my pipework is in an awkward position under the stairs?
British plumbing is rarely straightforward. Because everything is built to order, we can specify the pipe connections to suit your existing layout. This avoids the need for messy pipe extensions or digging up floorboards in a narrow corridor.
Do these radiators come with the hooks included?
For the hallway radiator with coat hooks, the hooks are a structural part of the unit. They are not an afterthought bolted on later; they are integrated into the design to ensure they can handle the weight of heavy winter coats while maintaining high heat output.
Is a small radiator enough to stop the damp in a dark entry?
A small hallway radiator isn't just about comfort; it's about air circulation. By keeping the wall temperature consistent, you prevent the stagnant, cold spots where condensation and dampness usually start. It’s a practical fix for the "cold spot" behind the front door.
How long does it take to get a built-to-order hallway radiator?
Because every unit is made to your specifications, lead times are longer than off-the-shelf radiators. Most orders take 10-14 weeks to manufacture. Mainland UK delivery is included in the price, and your plumber connects it like any other central heating radiator.
