got them out! Pozi head with the right size came out by hand! Thanks!

wait, DIYers need plumbers to remove rads? Every source I went to said it was a doddle. I only screwed it up because my old man told me duff info on the valve. Surely close valves, drain rad,then when you put on attach rad turn on valves and bleed the air until water cometh from the bleed...

possibly. I have 4 others, I could chisel this one out and use posi on the others. I have a posi but but I haven’t got the tube thing to connect it to my drill - can get one tomorrow only A few quid from the local shop I had two drill attachments one had a longer head that was cross and a...

Another thing if anyone can help When I had the spillage it was not this pipe. It was the other pipe spewing water out! This one seems to have a slow leak. I just turned the valve as tight as it will go. It had a tiny bit extra to turn. I will leave this overnight but if the water hasn’t...

I will do this tomorrow AM

Thanks for all the ideas guys I have some really good ideas. You guys are a godsend for office boys like me One other thing which might be worth considering that’s the “hatch” one board loose by the meter tails. the one you can see to the left is the one I’m struggling with. Why on earth...

no. I don’t know where the pump is or how to vent it. Do you mean using the bleed key on the rads? I can do that - as for the pump, not sure where it is or what it looks like

downstairs. Same room as boiler

The only way I can access crawlspace is under the stairs. There is a loose board but you can see where there was another to allow access but it has screws into the joist and they are impossible to remove with an electric screwdriver or by hand. Any tips on this or do I cut the board out and...

Thank you - makes sense

Well, let’s be positive. That’s the last time I’ll remove a radiator incorrectly real experience is actually extremely valuable

I just tried to take a radiator off. I was told from many sources this was an easy job. I wanted to turn the valves off by tightening but my dad said half a turn. Stupidly I did that. half a days work is acceptable. I was worried more like a couple. hard lesson to learn when you had it...

So the cover company are refusing to cover as they are saying that I improperly drained my system and did not follow correct procedure when draining the system. I didn’t even follow procedure, I made a mistake taking a radiator off! they said it would be a time consuming job saying that...

Would this mean a new pump or floorboards coming up or will an engineer be able to clear with minimum fuss? Thanks

the gas engineer didn’t know how to work on baxi so has referred to them he checked the cold water feed tank to ensure it was full. yesterday I lost 4 gallons out the radiator as it leaked when I took it off and didn’t close the valve correctly so wonder if it’s due to that the only thing...
