Upstairs heating stopped working.

Hi there,

I wonder if someone could give me their experienced opinion on this issue please?

The upstairs heating in my house has stopped working. Only the bathroom radiator gets hot as normal but it's plumbed with the hot water.
Interestingly I had turn the water off at the mains prior to this problem. A couple of days later I noticed the upstairs heating not working. I'm led to believe that is just coincidence.
I have bled all the upstairs radiators except one in the upstairs hallway which will no longer bleed since this problem. I have check the valve on that rad and its depressing properly.

My plumber mate popped over and tried to clear any air blocks but that didn't help. He thinks the system may need sealing to remove the air and to check for leaks.

Any thoughts on the problem and this solution would be extremely welcomed.

Thanks

James
 
I would be looking at the cold feed by now. Drain the system and see if the F&E cistern drains with it. If it does not, then cold feed is blocked normally where the pipe connects to the heating flow. Make sure you manually empty the F&E before cutting into the pipe.

Ok thanks. I'll see if we can try that.

Thanks for your help and suggestions everyone.
