Electric radiators - any + recomended suppliers

I've been asked to swap out some old, massive storage rads for slimline ones that can be run during the day. Having worked in a town where mains gas is king this is a new one on me, so I'm after suppliers/manufacturers that other forum readers have used and found reliable.. The ones I've looked at seem to have a maximum power of 2 or 2.5kw, clearly inadequate for space heating a downstairs room in a traditional ( ie, OLD) cottage. Clearly, I can't fill the house with 4kw heaters, but one larger on for the downstairs room may be an option if they are available? Does anyone know?

I'm going to look at the job tomorrow, but it appears to have one decent sized living space that rule of thumb calcs suggest around 4kw heat, 2 small bedrooms and a tiny kitchen. 

Just to be clear, I'm not after any advice on supply or exceeding  maximum demand etc: just the possible availability of  larger heaters than I've seen so far, and reliable products.

    .... but you can expect more environmental charges on Gas, possibly even a new tax shortly.  Going forward new gas wont be an option in a few years and will be replaced by heat pumps, storage heaters, direct acting heating, maybe biomass etc,  


    and lots and lots of thermal insulation...
