Radiator leaking overnight, no valves to turn it off - HELP?

sarah171 · 22 Oct 2010

The bathroom radiator has been trickling past couple of nights, and boiler pressure going down... Suddenly tonight the leak has got more constant and quicker, there are no valves on the radiator to turn it off. We have turned off the heating, do we have to turn off the house water itself? What do we need to do to fix the problem? Could be corrosion, as its actually the radiator itself, at the bottom, leaking!

Thanks in advance, hoping for replies ASAP, don't know what to do!

Turn the boiler off. If you know where a drain valve is let the pressure off or just leave it and wrap towels around it. It will stop (more or less) after a bit..

Either that or 2 hammers work
