Hello there all mighty and knowledgeable central heating warriors!
I have two radiators in my duplex flat which fail to heat up. One is a large vertical radiator in the living room, the other is a small ladder style radiator not too far away in a downstairs toilet so both on the same floor. Both radiators not working are very near to other radiators which are fully heating up correctly. I bled all the radiators in the flat and still nothing. I had a plumber call out who tried a number of things but failed to get them working again, he stated that there must be a blockage somewhere in the system and I would probably need a full flushing of the system. He didn't seem at all keen to do the job, almost said he didn't want the job as too much hassle. Said that as my flat isn't on the ground floor, (first floor duplex), it would be a difficult and messy job. I generally didn't really understand much of what he was saying but the bottom line is that my two radiators still don't work and I would love some advice on exactly what you think I should ask of a plumber for this job to be completed successfully and a rough idea of what it might cost. Thanks for any help or advice with this, much appreciated.
