Hi All,
All of the radiators in my house have this crumbly gunk around the radiator pipe (where it fits into the radiator) - I've attached a picture to show what i mean. I presume this was some kind of old seal (house built in the 90s?). A couple of these joints are weeping ever so slightly, not enough to drip but wet on the finger.
My intention was to drain the system down, clean up the joints, apply PTFE and/or plumbers mate and refit. Will that suffice?
Thanks,
Tom
