Was attempting to change a (very old!) radiator valve and needed to change the tail too. Radiator spanner is now just spinning on the inside of the radiator tail. Any suggestions as to how to get it out? I've also tried this which seemed to work a little but again now just spinning: Nothing...

Thanks! Now able to look up the instruction manual and finally managed to get it off.

Thanks. Suspected it was gas, but really didn't want to mess around with it to confirm. Should have posted a picture of the fireplace in its entirety. It's an original cast iron insert, with absolutely no evidence of anything but solid fuel having been used.

Can anyone tell me what this valve is for on our hearth next to the fireplace as Google isn't coming up with any answers?

Absolutely right, and we've had a couple of quotes through for the exterior work already (there are a coupe of areas need sorting out over and above this one). Could do with some advice as to how we sort the interior once the exterior is sorted.

Could anyone advise how I best patch up this mess please? We live on the 2nd (top) floor of an old terrace house built circa 1890. A number of months ago I noticed a small damp patch in one corner of our bedroom just above the skirting board. The lining paper had also begun to come away from...
