Hi all -
First post so hello! I'm having some problems with a radiator in my new house and none of the other posts i've read through seem to answer the question!
We've just tried to remove our first radiator... the valve(?) end has undone and drained fine but the lockshield end seems to be leaking. The water seems to be dripping out of where the copper pipe meets the very bottom of the valve...
Can someone give me a very, very, very simple explanation for how serious this is? Do I need to get a plumber in? Can I fix it myself? Will water start blasting out if I start trying to tighten things up?!?!
Any help would be really good....
Thanks in advance!
