heating problems

[phil.g88]

I've got a radiator in our attic room which doesn't get hot, I've tried bleeding the system but no air or water comes out. Has anyone got any idea what i need to do to fix this problem?

Your radiator might need flushed out (sometimes a lot of gunge can gather in the pipes) The best idea would be to ask a plumber but they might need to take the radiator off the wall - flush it out with a hose and then re-fit it.

Horrible time for the eheating to be a bit iffy. Good luck!

if theres no water or air in the radiator then the first thing i would look at is are the valves on both sides of the radiator open or closed, if they're closed then open them.

You could also turn off all the other rads in the house and leave open the vales on the attic one and see if the water will pump up there....

if it is a gravity fed system it will not work as the tank will be below the radiator
