Hi,
Sorry if question already answered in previous posts, but I can't find a solution to the below:
We recently moved house to a new home that has previously been extended. In one of the bedrooms that has been extended there are 2 radiators, one which looks like it was fitted when the extension was built, and one that looks older and is in the original part of the room.
The radiator in the extended part of the room works fine but the original radiator (small, single panel) is not heating up and the copper pipes leading to it are also cold.
I have tried the below steps, but it is still stone cold:
1) Firstly I tried bleeding the radiator; then
2) I removed the radiator from the wall and flushed it using a hose (there was a tiny bit of debris but no sludge), at the same time I checked water flow from both the inlet and outlets (there is water flowing from both)
3) Re-pressurised the boiler and re-bled the radiator
4) Once none of the above worked, I turned all of the thermostatic valves off on all other radiators in the house to see if they were 'stealing the heat', again no luck!
None of the above has worked and the radiator and pipes remain cold when all other radiators are hot.
I originally assumed it had been disconnected from the system when the extension was done, but as there is water flowing through the pipes, that obviously isn't the case.
I'm not sure if there is anything else I can try as I'm all out of ideas?
Thanks in advance.
