Troubleshooting

Radiator not heating up

Check if the central heating system is on and if water is flowing. Bleed the radiator to release any trapped air. Ensure the thermostatic radiator valve (TRV) is not set to its lowest setting or turned off.

Radiator is noisy (banging or gurgling)

This usually indicates trapped air. Bleed the radiator following the correct procedure. If noise persists, check system pressure and consider balancing the system.

Cold spots on the radiator

This often means air is trapped at the top or sludge has settled at the bottom. Bleed the radiator. If the bottom remains cold, the system may need flushing.

Leaks from valve connections

Ensure the valve connections are securely tightened. If leaks persist, the valve or fitting may need to be replaced. Turn off the water supply to the radiator before attempting any repairs.
