Troubleshooting

Radiator is not heating up

Check that the central heating system is on and that the thermostat is set correctly. Bleed the radiator to release any trapped air. Ensure the thermostatic radiator valve (TRV) or manual lockshield valve is open.

Radiator is making noise (banging, hissing)

Hissing or gurgling sounds often indicate air in the system, which can be resolved by bleeding the radiator. Banging noises could suggest water hammer or expansion issues, which may require professional inspection.

Leaking from valve or connection

If leaking from a valve, try gently tightening the valve head. If the leak persists or is from a pipe connection, turn off the water supply to the radiator and contact a qualified heating engineer for repair.

Uneven heating across the radiator

Often caused by air or sludge buildup. Bleeding the radiator can help. If the issue is at the bottom, it might indicate sludge, and a system flush may be required by a professional.
