Thats a good suggestion. Many thanks

It's very hot up through the trv, the rad is tepid and the outlet barely warm

Thanks both for the rapid response. Much appreciated. Would you agree that the lockshield needs opening more given the water going in is hot but the other side is a lot cooler (definitely a bigger difference than the 10-12 degree C I've seen is ideal)

I've just turned the heating on today for the first time and noticed that a newly fitted rad is not heatimg up very well at all. Its the only one on the system not working well. The flow in is hot but the outflow is barely warm so I'm trying to balance the heating system to fix it. I'm...

Would the filling valve in the cistern create noise in the taps too?

Just moved into a new house that's about six years old having problems when opening the cold taps or flushing the toilet after a period of time. The problem only seems to happen if they've not been opened or flushed for an hour or so. If I flush in quick succession there's no problem. When...

Thanks for responses guys. Much appreciated
