    I’m scared if I turn them all off they will go back to none working downstairs as I’ve had to spend ages trying to balance.

    No. I just have a knob to turn one side and the other one with a spanner. Does not have specific numbers on.

    Santa did not bring heating today One radiator that has been working the last few days downstairs with all the others has decided to stay cold. I’ve not changed or done anything …. It’s like my radiators pick and choose what ones to go to. I don’t get it.

    Thanks. I will do this after Christmas because so far the heating in all but one radiator has come on downstairs the last few times. Some very hot. Some not so much but still warm (mostly up the top) I also keep having to bleed the air out of the one radiator upstairs as it seems to get the air...

    I think it’s 8mm downstairs on the new radiator and 15mm upstairs from memory. Think he said about replacing downstairs to 10mm surface level from upstairs radiators. Is this the right place on this photo?

    Ok so I am not very technical so took photos of helps. The pipe is hot where my hand is if this is the e right place. Also regarding radiators the new ones attached. Pipe shows a hole as this was where we had some small leaks when adding new ones. Ignore the carpet in the room with old...

Radiators still hot but cooler in...

    Yes some are hot to touch to the radiator but the radiator is a mixture of warm and bottom of radiator not so warm. I’ll mention the bypass to him also see what he says. I’m also trying not to have more of a bill on trial and error. So far we have spent £1500 in the last fortnight trying to sort...

    So the big yellow thing is like warm to touch. The cupboard lets out some heat… Also manually playing with valves tonight has helped some radiators as mentioned above but whilst some are mildly warm the others are warm at top but bottom cooler. As mentioned this has been washed and emptied...

    Regarding downstairs ones, the radiators were replaced but no change to piping as the valves on old radiators were left on. The heating guy mentioned microbore issues but can’t see how the pipework has been done as it’s in plasterboard and I have chipboard flooring upstairs so he said it may...

    Also I just had downstairs working except a few. Turned thermostat down and turned back up again later and back to cold or Luke warm radiators.

    No just a thermostat via a hive connection. All the radiators have standard valves. No thermostats. The option now is this new potential diverted valve which the heating guy said when he fiddles with it it does improve the heating (more radiators on) but not all. Hence he said about new...

    Central heating chaos

    Yes they are conventional. My heating guy turned them all off upstairs and said it’s bizzare none are warming downstairs. Then as he did put the on they started to warm downstairs. Slowly. Some just like warm. Then when heating goes off and back on again it all goes cold downstairs and hot...

    Central heating chaos

    So where to start I moved into a property that had single pane radiators earlier this September. We had some work done on the house and whilst the water was off we had the downstairs radiators upgraded to more efficient radiators. The upstairs remain the same on 15mm pipes and downstairs...
