Troubleshooting

Radiator not heating evenly

Check for trapped air by bleeding the radiator. Ensure the thermostatic radiator valve (TRV) is functioning correctly and set to an appropriate temperature.

Leaking from connections

Ensure all connections, especially where the radiator attaches to the pipework and where valves are fitted, are securely tightened. Check that appropriate sealing tape or compound has been used.

Radiator feels cold at the top

This usually indicates air trapped in the system. Bleed the radiator at the bleed valve until water starts to come out, then retighten.

Reduced heating output

Check that the central heating system is functioning correctly. Ensure radiator valves are fully open and that there are no blockages within the radiator or pipework.
