Here we go again you say... but what do you recommend if there is nowhere to attach a drain hose to on any of the radiators? I have seen a recommendation of fitting a washing machine tap that cuts into the copper pipe but have also seen someone complaining that this was leaking. Any other options better than that? Thanks.

drain off point under the floor somewhere or under the boiler?
Whoever fitted it in the first place can't have filled the system just the once,finished the job and then f*cked off. No-one would do that, surely...?

why dont you choose a radiator downstairs close to an external door and turn off the rad and then drain it simply by putting a tray under it(something like a paint roller tray). Once the radiator has drained you can remove it and then attach a hose to one of the radiator valves on then open the valve to drain off. Not a difficult job, keep some old towels close to hand.
