Thanks very much for your reply. As a guestimate, how much would a plumber charge for doing this? :wink:

I dont know what type it is but here's a picture. Thanks

Hi John, Thanks for the reply. We do have a room thermostat located in the living room. I change the programmer myself ( the plumber told me it was a simple process ) from a old glowworm to a Drayton Tempus 7. The boiler is a Vulcan Continental. None of the radiators have thermostatic...

Hello, When I switch the hot water on two rads ( One downstairs in the conservatory and one in a bedroom ) heat up. Can anyone explain what might be happening and whether I can sort it myself? Regards Laurie
