Evening all
My rads are quite old (30 yearsish) they are the standard single panel rads. The ones downstairs have large cold patches at the bottom when the heating is on. I want to keep them as I do not want anything deeper to block vital space and because I do not want to change the pipe work for different sizes.
I am thinking of cleaning them out but I do not want them power flushed as the system is old and I am anxious it could cause a significant leak. I also think taking them off and running a pressure hose through them will be much better in shifting the muck, what do you think?
How agreeable do you think a plumber would be to doing this? and how much do you think it would be to clean 2 large and 2 small rads and put them back on again and adding sentinel? I don't plan to do the ones upstairs
Thanks
Betty
