Thanks all. Slow reply here as I've been working on the radiators. Checked if the valves were jammed/blocked, even changed a few. But no luck sadly. I fear it's something way behind the floors/walls, possibly in the manifold. Will try and find a good local plumber I think as I'm fairly stumped.

Thanks for quick replies guys. We have tried previously closing all 12 working rads, but no effect on the others. Still stone cold. 1 or 2 had a warm pipe leading to them, but not for long. We are going to experiment with replacing the valves, but I think it's a long shot. If it was just one...

Thanks. Good spot. Why on earth would anyone want to shut that off? Definitely some odd plumbing in this house. Have booked a service in with a local independent. Hopefully build up a good relationship as I think we'll be using them again to help unblock some pipes in the near future.
