Power flushes / rads not heating up - HELP PLEASE!

[Mandy Cowlishaw]

Not sure how to turn that rad off as there’s no TRV

 

[gmartine]

That's ok the bath rad doesn't usually have a TRV, are any of the pipes leading up to the bath rad hot? Do any of the radiators need bleeding?

 

[Mandy Cowlishaw]

the pipes leading to the rads appear to be cooling down now but the rads are still hot

One end will spin and spin the other will close down

 

[Mandy Cowlishaw]

There is still no change to the two rads downstairs

Yes I think I’ve tirned the bathroom one off now! Thank you

 

[Riley]

Is anyone competent enough there to crack open one of the radiator valves and see if the water is mucky

 

[Riley]

Could be a combination of dirty system and weak pump

Thank you. So would you recommend having a system flush? Are they effective.
It’s odd that first of all there was one rad not working, then two upstairs and now two downstairs!

The plumber that came here said that the water in the heating system is very clean so no need to flush the system...but that was when he fixed the non working kitchen rad and before we had the problem with the two upstairs rads and now just the downstairs 2 rads
