Troubleshooting

Radiator not heating up evenly

Bleed the radiator to release trapped air. Ensure the radiator valves are fully open and that there are no blockages in the system. Check that the directional air vent is correctly positioned to aid water flow during venting.

Leaking from valve connections

Tighten the radiator valve connections gently. If leaks persist, check the seals and consider replacing the valve or its seal.

Noise from the radiator

Gurgling noises often indicate trapped air; bleed the radiator. Banging or ticking noises might suggest expansion and contraction of the metal, which is normal, or issues with water flow; consult a heating engineer if concerned.
