What is the make/model of the shower valve? Are the hot and cold feeds under equal pressure?

Could be that the system is sludged up a bit and it is not air in the system but hydrogen. Next time you bleed a rad have a sniff and see if it smells eggy.

Depends on the valve thread. If the nut can be lowered revealing the olive, you can gently cut the olive off with a hacksaw, being careful not to score the pipe. Then you can fit a stop end with a new olive or better still a new valve ready for your new radiator.

Would love to answer to this in more depth, have to hold back, but your the type of person we are advertising for and hopefully trying to convince and protect from the less caring traders out there. Thanks again.

:idea: If the system is a one pipe system, by removing that radiator, it could stop the flow and return all together. I've seen it happen before, by virtue of the way it was designed. Suggest it to plumber/heating engineer when he investigates.

Did the kitchen fitters just drain down the rad in the kitchen and cap the valves, or drained down the whole system before capping off the pipes?

I like your comment Dormermike. Thanks for coming forward as I'm sure the majority of companies appreciate your honesty as we ultimately want to provide a good service to you. Well thats what I hope.

Thank you Mathew, your comments are gratefully received. Definitely an excellent topic for discussion and opinions, which I could so easily do, but that could take this post off at a tangent, and the thread could be lost. I am purposely staying neutral to encourage others to comment. A worthy...

As a Heating Installer we advertise with information we think you want, but we may not be providing the information you need. To help us improve, can you tell us what information you are looking for and what criteria sways you to choose one company over another. Also where would be the first...

First place I'd check would be the pump. If you want to bleed it on the front is a big silver screw. Loosen it and air may come out plus a tiny bit of water. Does the pump sound airy or bubbily? Do any of the rads have TRV's on? As you have already played around with the rads, make sure both...

Don't tell everyone. :shock: Added weight down at the scrappy's. I tell customers about the limescale but they don't believe you half the time - perhaps I'll put them onto that video. :lol:

No need to complicate matters. When the new rads were installed the system should have been balanced to give equal share to all rads. Do that and your problem will undoubtably be solved. Without getting technical check which radiators are getting very hot and range them down on the lockshield...

As Burnerman says. For extra protection I always slap on a ring of silicone seal around the edges, before I bed it into it's final resting place.

:evil: :evil: :evil: Tapsuk - If you have a problem don't expect help. That's all I can say.

I love it when we get sympathy :lol: :lol:

I have two blog sites. One under http://moggridgeplumbing.blogspot.com and one under wordpress.com - totally separate from my website. I keep them going for the linking back to my website, but they don't receive the traffic in comparison. On my website I do have a link to my blog site, but...

Hi Ben, I would love to know also what others want to know, as I'm sure my blog is only read by me :shock: :lol: I'll read your blog.

Is the supply to the toilet from the mains or a tank in the loft?

Could be a bit of muck in the pipe. If it has an isolation valve then bits of old solder can get stuck. Also there may be a filter in the valve which needs cleaning. :)
