I already checked here first, but it didn't really answer my question:
//www.diynot.com/wiki/plumbing:faq:faq16
I'm an absolute amateur. Just moved in to a rented end terrace house and though it is modern (2008) build with a seemingly decent Combi boiler system, the house seems quite cold even when the thermostat is set to 21C and all the radiator thermostatic valves are on the highest setting (5)
The radiators don't seem to get very hot at all, so I wanted to try bleeding them but a standard rad-key I have doesn't fit these Stelrad rads throughout the house.
It seems to just have a slotted nut, surrounded by a plastic 'tap' which I guess allows you to direct the flow of water in to a cup.
So presumably I just use a slot-head screwdriver to bleed them?
