convectors

We would need some photos and/or dimensions, fin spacing, element type, etc. Not a lot to go on from what you suggest.
Also, if the convectors are low-mass copper-tube, aluminum fin types and the rest of the house is cast-iron with a higher mass, that kind of differential is to be expected. A separate zone is key to making these work at all.
Do you have a handle on how well the convectors are sized compared to the heat loss? And how well other radiators are sized relative to their room's heat losses? I would start there too.

Just remember
That Beacon Morris and other toe space heaters should be zoned separate if the are the remaining heat source in the kitchen. There is no residual heat with the toe-space and if you are taking our cast iron radiators you may find the occupants complaining.
I have done quite a few kitchen upgrades and we always pipe a separate zone to toe space heater!
