Radiator/Heating Repair Help!

[pipsqueaker]

You must have one of these near the lowest radiator so you can drain down the whole system. Turn the feed into house off first. Stick a hose pipe on this, undo the nut and run the hose outside. With no water in system you won't get flooded.

Notoriously unreliable mate,much better to drain system and then take your time to do the repair correctly.

Unfortunately not all Plumbers/Heating Engineers fit them m8,
If you do drain down the system at a later date add one m8

the whole piping work is well shoddy, hanging down loose under radiators, poorly fitted and boxed in. Total replace job if it came it i reckon. if it's going to be done - do it properly.
