Hi all,
I'm hoping someone here can help. The radiators in my living room aren't heating as well as the radiator in bedroom, hall and bathroom in my flat.
I've checked and both seem to be free from trapped air (tried to bleed and water came straight out). Now one radiator gets a lot warmer than the other.
Neither of the radiators have the valves that have the numbers on (excuse my lack of terminology!!).
The radiator I'm most concerned with only gets warm at the top. Looking online this could be a build up of sludge, but I'm not sure
In the attache picks, the blue box shows where I attempted to bleed the rad.
Red box shows one of the valves - and the other is green. The green valve, I removed the cap this morning (with heating off) and had to use spanner to check it was fully turned anit-clockwise (which it was). However this has made no difference to the temp.
Silly question, but do I need to do the same on the other, lower valve (in red)?
I'm hoping this is a quick fix rather than needing to call out a professional - but at the same time I'm a novice and rent the flat so don't want to break anything.
Any help would be really appreciated.
Thanks
Rich
