Hello,
am looking to remove bathroom rad and sink in order to tile the walls.
Radiator:
Shut off main inlet valve (no TRV) and lockshield valve. Opened the bleed valve and left it for over 5 mins, and water keeps pouring out.
Question: Is the radiator not isolating due to a fault with either valve? What else could be the cause, and how can it be resolved? The system is open vented.
Bathroom sink:
It's old and the hot and cold pipes don't have isolating valves. Am I right in thinking the only way to remove the sink would be to shut water supply off at stop cock and drain down the whole system/house?
Any help/advice much appreciated.
Cheers.
