In 2005, Chris Baylis, founder of Castrads had just sold a reclamation company that specialised in reclaimed cast iron radiators and other recycled building supplies. Retirement didn't suit the radiator man, so he ordered a few hundred tonnes of cast iron radiators, rented some land from the local farmer and began trading under the name Castrads from Hilltop Farm, just a short drive from Manchester, Stockport or Sheffield.
Coming up to five years later and Castrads is one of the UK's largest and most experienced purveyors of traditional cast iron radiators. Castrads' on site engineers and finishing technicians take great pride in assembling and painting the finest quality traditional, school, column and ornate cast iron radiators.
In addition to Hilltop Farm HQ near Cheadle, Castrads today has showroms in Wimbledon, South London and Rugby, Warwickshire. The company is rapidly expanding across Europe and North America. We want to heat the world with traditional cast iron radiators, with plans underway to form a partnership with stockists in Finland, France, Germany and many more.
