i recently had a boiler change which my plumber came and done, good job and all, but have been left with the 2 furthest rads are stone cold,(they are connected together) the plumber said that the problem is due to the pipes which run to it are 15 mm, and there are around 8 rads on 15 mm pipe, i understand that but before the boiler change they were working perfectly, he has told me to bleed them which i have, i have connected a hose length and drained them, when i do that they get hot, but when the heating comes on again nothing happens, they are stone cold, just running out of ideas now, im living in a bungalow so they are fed from the roof so comming DOWN the wall, any ideas would be so helpful
 
Have they got a lockshield valve on them? If so, remove the cap and open these a bit more. If this works, the system needs balancing, info for which can be found in the "how to" section.

If the plumber was as good as you say, he would have resolved the issue whilst he was there.
