So we had a new combi boiler installed. Worcester Life 8000 35kw (so a half decent one then). The installer did a flush of the system and 2 of our radiators are leaking. One of the lockshield valve is a bit leaky also. I was going to get my usual plumber to sort it out but after a few no show he's been "sacked". I was contemplating doing it myself, bought all the stuff, watched the YouTube tutorials, but now having second thoughts!
I have been quoted around £350 to £400 to replace 2 radiators and valves. Sounds a lot of money to me to be honest. Is that roughly how much I should expect to pay?
I was trying to balance my radiators also, and I think I've got it. However 1 of my radiator, with a Drayton TRV4 valve, now refuse to come on. There is no air lock (tried bleeding it), the pins on the valves are free and easy to depress. The only thing I can think of is incorrect balancing of the other radiators (or even knackered valves). Do I turn all the other radiators off and see if this comes back to life (and therfore balancing issue) or is there something else I should check?
Thanks.
