Hi, I had a plumber out on Thursday as 3 of my thermostatic valves on my radiators were not working. The plumber said I needed 3 new valves so he drained my system etc and completed the work. When he refilled the system we both went round my home to check all the radiators were working. I noticed that the one in my porch was not heating up and he said 'oh I've just turned that one on give it time', to be honest I was downstairs and thought hmmm he has not been down for a while, but thought maybe it could take a little longer with him draining the system.
I have 2 radiators in my living room dinning room and I noticed that the front one was not very warm at all either. He then went round all the radiators to bleed them but this still didn't help, so he turned all the radiators off and turned the two that were not heating on, they did heat up a little but still not great, by the way these were working fine thermostats and all before he came. So he then turned up the thermostat on my wall right up to see if that would help which it did slightly, I always have my heating set on 20 but he said it would probably have to be turned right up for a while. He then said I may need a new radiator in my porch as this was old and could have sludge in the bottom (strange because it was working fine before he came). He eventually got the radiators heated and said if I had any problems to ring him. Later I noticed my temperature was set on 29 and the porch radiator was luke warm and my front living room the same.
I contacted the plumber who came out the next day, he took the radiator off in the porch and drained it then put it back on, the radiator would not heat up and he said I needed a new radiator as it was broken and the thermostat had also broken, he then tried the front living room one again and said that thermostat was also broken, could this be coincidence as both radiators and valves were working fine before he came round. He left both the valves off, now I have no heat at all from my porch radiator which he said is broken, and my living room one is warm but not hot.
When the original 3 valves were not working I had to remove them and those radiators were really hot all the time hence no thermostatic valves so they kept heating up. The one in the bedroom had to be switched off all together as it was like a green house in there. So why is my living room radiator not piping hot as it has no thermostat on. I am going to ring him back to get him to come back out, so any help or ideas would be most helpful, I'm a female living on my own so not sure if he being 100% with me on this. I paid him £200, I know it's not a fortune but when he came I had 3 faulty thermostats all radiators were working, now I am down £200 and have another 2 faulty thermostats 1 broken radiator and 1 radiator not heating correctly even without thermostat.
Sorry its a little long winded, but any advice would be greatly appreciated.
