Hello.
My dad has a radiator in the living room that only outputs 75% heat as the rest is full of sludge.
I spent over 2 hours flushing it out in the garden,hitting it with a rubber mallet to move the bits inside the rad and the water was clear at the end of doing this.
Refitted the rad and put the heating on for 30 mins but the rad is just the same. The valves do work and this is the only rad in the house that has this problem.
I would like to replace the rad which is 500X1600 double/double convevtor with the same size bearing in mind i am not a plumber apart from a new rad what parts will in need and how easy will it be to match the pipework up to the new rad please.
Thank you.
