Hi,

It appears the 2 port valve for the heating is sticking/stuck open.

The heating is turned right down on the thermostat but when the hot water is on (separate 2 port valve) the radiators are also getting warm.

I'm hoping it doesn't need to be a new valve......

Thanks in advance!
 
Have one of the kids moved it to the 'manual setting' ?

If it's the motor that needs fixing, with some models, you can replace it without un-plumbing the valve. Manually opening and closing the valve part may unstick it. It will probably stick again relatively soon but it may buy you a few days to book a plumber.

I have no idea how you fix kids if they are the problem.
