No, I'm afraid or thankful that I've never heard of them. I replaced all (8) my 10/12 year old assorted ones but mainly Myson over the summer with "cheap?", around £12, EPH ones, all working perfectly well.
 
Tower I believe are in the lower price bracket, and in my experience I would tend to stick with proven named brands such as Honeywel, Drayton, Pegler et al.

Are you able to remove the trv heads? If so, you could remove the ones where fitted and see how long they stay hot for and if the rads are indeed getting hot?

and get some neighbor that has a hammer (no don't do that), get him to reverse it and us the handle to push the pin(s) in (they should then spring out but only move ~ 3 to 5mm)

The head is normally held on with a knurled nut so the head should be fitted with it fully opened (index 5) then finger tighten the nut otherwise you are trying to push in the pin at the same time.

Thank you so much it stayed on. We have put the head back on nie. Wow that was tricky as it was very very hot without it. So can I assume that it is obviously the trvs.

I would say trv issue yes. Perhaps the original installer and yourselves can come to some agreement?
