    How to heat a single room (or poss 2)

    Single Rad half is warm only

    Thanks for help on this ... This rad project fixed solely with your help. Mad that a 19£ convector rad is better than that "designer radiator" , which yes was installed incorrectly. (My other project of swapping out valves on another is no longer necessary. I have so many questions on that but...

    How to remove a TRV/ Lockshield valve without bleeding whole system
