Plumbers advice

[Goats left knee]

radiators upstairs are prob about 20 years old, but anyway same problem with one about 5 years old downstairs.
The awkward fooking bleed valves wear a little and won't turn anymore, can't grip them.
So 2 radiators upstairs are cold apart from very bottom.
Can a good plumber do anything to fix this problem?

Is it not just a matter of getting a pair of these on the end of it?

Yep, replace the bleed valve assy.

If you are invited to go to fix a lonely housewife's plumbing, be sure to ascertain exactly what she wants done before you start unbuttoning your boiler suit.

If only someone had tipped me the wink regarding this I wouldn't be on the run right now.

Hindsight eh?

Yep, replace the bleed valve assy.

That bleed valve is way bigger than any radiator at Ewing's Towers. Do they do smaller ones, and in sky blue?

The new style, the white piece rotates 360 degrees so you don't get a shot in the eye !
