If refilling, would probably need to be bleeding the radiator (likely one at a time from simple man power) simulataneously I imagine.

I spent a while with a buddy identifying pipes... ie which go where. So at least I achieved something. The green tap is definitely on the down from the F&E tank... but the tank is really quite orange, so before I even think about moving the tap to see if it is open or closed, I'll syphon out the...

OK, thanks... at least I can feel like I'm doing something! Its location makes it possible my wife could have accidently turned the tap while pushing towels etc into the airing cupboard. Your advice is much appreciated.

OK, thanks. Definitely think I shouldn't try turning that green tap?

Thanks John, I'll have a go. A friend I just mentioned the symptoms to wondered if it could be a balancing issue... he had a similar fault caused by balancing, but he hadn't tried bleeding radiators to know what that would do. Does that sound a possible? I guess it would be easy to test...

But that horizontal pipe is hot, and presumably flowing OK since downstairs heating works fine. So the blockage would have to be above that surely? It sounds like you think the pipes do what I think they do, but why is there the tap/valve, could it not simply be that it is closed when it...

So definitely nothing to do with that tap then? I was wondering if that tap was the (in effect) blockage. I can't spot a U shaped bit of pipework - but am at work and can only use the pictures I have taken. I guess I'm heading here to the question of if I need to get a plumber in to sort...

I should have mentioned those, bleeding had no apparent affect in the tank in the loft, but the ball cock does work when pushed (the water level looks sensible). Sounds like you are as wary as I about turning the tap. But if that pipe goes to the expansion tank, would it not be a refilling...

Hi all, Our upstairs (small 2 floor 2up-2down house) radiators only get hot on the bottom few inches, no heat at all above them, downstairs certainly appear to work fine and have no trouble maintaining a decent temperature in the bathroom and living room. But the issue means our bedroom...
