Radiator always cold

Posted by Jenna , on
Gas central heating, all radiators working but one. Standard radiator keys don't fit - could it be a simple bleed job if we get the right key and how would we know which one to get? Thanks,
Richard Weir

Hi Jenna, It sounds like an air in the radiator problem. I would take a photo of the bleed nipple to your local plumbers merchant and they will be able to match up the key, there's only a couple. Are you sure it isn't clogged up with paint? A sharp knife can get that cleaned out. Good luck.

What would you like to do now?
