Wow Mr Hailsham - that's an awesome response - ty. Great to see the flows on my diagram - to be honest though, it appears as I expected and (in my mind at least) - there still seems to be a problem. If we take the Beroom 2 Rad - the inflow moves into the radiator unhindered, and doesn't pass...

All the radiators have TRVs. The thermostat is in the hallway, but doesnt appear to do anything (following the wiring, it is connected)

Thank you very much for your time and your response :) A resized image should be below. I confess that I'm a little confused by this - The conservatory and bedroom 2 radiators are served by two pipes - one goes in one end of the radiator, and the other comes out the other end of the...

Oops - I missed the Hallway Radiator loop off of the new diagram. That's between Living Room Radiator 2 and the Bedroom 1 Loop. That seems to be functioning fine.

I've got into the loft and updated my diagram. To be honest, access in the loft is difficult, so I'm not certain which pipe connects to which for each of the loops. I am confident in the diagrams for downstairs. I have also colour coded the pipes - red for those which are hot, blue for...

Yes, it is a bungalow. The boiler pipework goes straight into the loft, so I havent worked out the position (yet - I'll complete the diagram as soon as I can get into the loft) The top line is not supposed to represent a pipe - sorry. I havent managed to get into the loft yet, so I dont know...

I haven't looked to "flush" the system yet - to be honest, it's a bit daunting so i'm putting it off whilst I try and sort out the other issues. I've made a quick sketch of how I see the pipework running to/from each rad. My ladder isn't accessible, so I havent got into the loft yet to check...

The system is a closed water supply - would I still want to add cleaner and drain? The house was standing empty for about a year before I moved in if that is of any significance As I said in my original post, I'm really struggling to get my head around the system - so I hope to start a new...

Thanks for the clarification mikey :)

Thankyou - and sorry I missed it :$ I did go through the CH FAQ, FAQ and Wiki, but didn't associate the answer 12 heading with what I was looking for, so moved on :$ I confess I'm still not totally clear on what the defualt position is when the thermostat head is removed. When it is...

Ty for your reply Bengasman :) I appreciate the frustration of noobs coming on and posting the same inane questions time and again without reading the FAQ. I assure you that I did read the FAQ BEFORE posting (and used the search button to look through previous posts) - I've just looked over...

I've just moved into a new house and am having real problems getting my head around the Central Heating and Hot Water systems. This looks a brilliant forum and site, its already been great for my education! However i'm really struggling and I think I'm going to have a lot of questions if you...
