I read someware on the forum that if you have a room stat and trv's on your rads that for the stat to operate correctly the trv's should be turned on fully because of conflict with the stat.When the boiler reaches the temp of the stat it turns off but does not turn itself on again when the temp...

The bathroom rad does not have a trv .The property is a smallish bungalow.The stat does have three wires.All other rads have trv and are set fully open.As stated before heating does warm up but when it reaches temp and shuts the boiler down it does not fire the boiler up again when the temp goes...

It is a bungalow so like you have said it would be wise to upgrade now rather than have problems when a new floor is laid over the now exposed easy to get at wiring.So probably £500 should cover work if everything test ok.Thanks for the replies..
