Yeah I can get a hose in, access is pretty easy as loft is already converted. Thanx mick yeah figured I might have to try and unblock it, I'll try that when I get home tomorrow. we've only had the house for twelve months and nothing has been touched in here since the house was built in 1984...

Tank definately emptied I saw it was empty when I untied the ballcock, could not hear any air or get any water at that bleed valve, I took screw right out.

Hi guys New here and already need help. :cry: I've just removed a radiator from one of my rooms and capped off the pipes, now the boiler either won't fire up or fires up for a minute and then cuts out. I'll try and explain exactly what I did. The system is open vented, tank in attic, with...
