The Problem
The downstairs radiators and hot water system works fine.
However, the upstairs circuit (5 rads) doesn't heat up at all.
The upstairs bathroom rad and 1 bedroom rad, (next to bathroom) does get some heat.
I have tried balancing the system, turning off the downstairs rads. Removing the rads and flushing through.
The pipework is either boxed in or buried in concrete, buts its the original when the house was built in 86.
The house similar to mine had similar probs, and apparently there was sort of valve in the pipework leading to the upstairs circuit, this was chopped out and the system worked. Mine is boxed in and tiled over, and never heard of such a valve!
Would be grateful for advice on what to do.
