Can anyone help?
I have a stone cold radiator which will get slightly warm if you shut off all the other radiators then once you open the others it goes cold again. The exit pipe from the radiator never gets hot. I have bled the system and balanced it, replaced the pump and am at a loss as to what could be the problem. A heating engineer has told me that there must be a blockage in the pipe from the radiator and wants to repipe the radiator. We have drained down the radiator, there was a little sludge, it is only 7 years old. We have also opened the exit valve and water poured out from the pipe that we have been told was likely to be blocked. Would this happen if the pipe was blocked? Any ideas as I really don't want to go down the repiping avenue unless its the last resort. We have microbore piping downstairs and standard upstairs. It is a fair way from the boiler and did work when we first moved in. Oh and it is a Worcester bosch combi boiler.
