We have thought of doing that. Are they expensive and would we be able to fit them ourselves? Only this is a rented property so we don't want to spend a fortune on it. Are there any that will control each rad separately that aren't WiFi?

All the rads get hot, the annoying thing is they go off when the one where the thermastat is goes off. That's not so bad during the day as I can move the thermastat around, but like now we have the woodburner a light so if I put the thermastat in another room the rads in the rooms that are...

I am not sure but I think the valves we have are manuel not TVRs?

We have that particular rad on 5 the highest setting all the time and yes it does come on. The problem is if we have the woodburner a light all the other rooms are cold. If we move the thermastat into one of these rooms the sitting and dining rooms get much too hot unless we think to turn...

Would it work better then if I had it on timed? I couldn't find "plumbing and central heating" I did look for it.

We have a portable thermastat for our radiators which also have thermastat valves fitted, apart from the one in the sitting room where we usually keep the Thermastat. I can't see the sense in this as the thermastat only seems to work with the radiator in whichever room it happens to be in. So...
