Hello. Need some advise pls. I'm in a disability bungerlow and just had my walls re_ damp and plasterd as allplaster had fallen of down to the brivkwork.Problem is and has been is the radiator is 15 inc L for a 15 ft by 11 ft kitchen. The place is so cold that there is frost on windows and the plaster work is still damp? I won't go in as far too cold causing my chest to whese. Iv ask council for bigger radiator. What happens if they refuse to do this ??

Hi there @coldcustomer and a big welcome to the community!
I'm afraid I don't have an answer related to a bigger radiator, but I would reach out to Disability Energy Support advisor (0808 801 0828) to help further support you and Scope have a Get ready for Winter campaign, which may be of help to you with your energy bills?

If the new plaster is still damp(fresh) it will make the room colder until it has fully dried out.
15X11 Room would only require a small to medium sized radiator so you might find it much more efficient once the plaster has fully dried. -
I had inspection today. He said I need new radiators as it's not drying out the kitchen is 12 ft by 10 ft with a 15 inc radiator? So lets see what progress awaits. Thanks for replying appreciated. Heather.
