no mate, the plumber is coming back out to sort it out, its his problem

yeah mate, i tried that..

no, he flushed the pipe out, then it worked for a while, it goes down through a joist and then bends 90 degrees through the wall, he then connect at that point to the new pipework, he says the pipe may have a kink in it and will replace it, which he probably should have done from the off

well. you couldnt make it up, the problem radiator has been working great the last couple of days, but i have just put the heating on again and the radiator is clock cold, just messaged the guy to see what he is gonna do,

Didn't Paul McCartney take a bird on with a leg missing?

yeah, it was the same fella, i hear what you are saying, when they fitted the new boiler/pipework, they gave it a quick run and the rad got hot, well Luke warm, then the heating was switched off for the summer months, i guess that he thought the small remaining pipe would be okay to use again...

***UPDATE GUYS**** Thanks for everyone's contribution and advice.i thought i would update the thread and let you know how it was resolved. and to anyone looking at a similar problem.. My plumber came out to the radiator that wasnt heating up, he took it off and flushed it out, the water was...

yeah it does seem a little odd, but i have used him a few times and always been very good, he is on holls at the moment, so i will see what he says when he comes back and has a look, new boiler, pipework, trv valves and, filters, were all fitted less than six month ago and never used till now...

Hiya Ken.. yeah they fitted a filter, they did everything except replace the rads, i will just leave it up to them when they come....the funny thing is, this rad never got very hot before the new boiler and pipework was replaced, so perhaps its just sludged up....thanks for your input

Thanks Ken... yeah, he is coming out to a bathroom job in a couple of weeks, so its no big deal. i thought if it was just sludge i could do take off the rad and flush it myself, but i cant imagine how sludge could stop any heat getting to the rad, i will have to wait and see what he says, i was...

what are you waffling on about? you said trump hadnt bombed anyone, of course he has, anyone means means...... erm, well anyone (scratches head)

yes he has...

we have had all the pipework replaced as well as the boiler, all the old copper was taken out and replaced with plastic, but we just left the rads in place, but there is no heat in the rad at all thanks for the reply Flameport

Hiya guys. Does the sludge build up in a radiator stop it getting hot? One of our radiators does not get hot, we had new pipework, valves and a new boiler fitted this summer, but we didnt replace the radiators, we have not really used the system yet, all the radiators are balanced and bled, the...

blocked jets in the carburettor?

i think i am going to be stuffed on this one, the wall is brick at the rear of the bath... i think the bath will have to come out, i cant see how my plumber is going to get a spanner under the tap, and i have been told that the brackets for the bath will probably be behind the tiles, so it will...

like it, thinking out of the box there mate..lol

Hiya guys... Our bath taps have started to move a lot when we turn on the taps, so i took the bath panel off to have a look, and i dont have a clue how to get to tighten the locking nut under the tap, or even how to get to it, they are in the centre of the bath up against a wall, and they are...

aaaah....brilliant, well done. Thanks a lot

Thank Burnerman, but i cant see the part listed..
