is the dodgy rad upstairs or downstairs?

hi the radiator is downstair in the kitchen and so is the boiler.

 

[sonray ltd]

is it a combi boiler ?

 

[Phoenix Heating]

could be blocked feed or weak pump if u have a standard system. or weak pump otherwise. that is with the information given. go and check what setting the pump is on

If the feeds from your boiler go up to the ceiling and the downstairs radiators are fed from above then it could just be airlocked. Try turning off all the radiators except the one that doesn't work and see what that does. Make sure that you run the central heating with0out the hot water.

On a 12 year old house I wouldn't mind betting that when the system was installed it was done with the usual care that is generally taken on new build. It was probably fitted with the 4 F philosophy. Fit it, fill it, fire it, F ***.

I would give money on it being sludged up. Probably on drops and very likely microbore behind the dot and dab plasterboard. Last one i had like that was a rad off job and hose on the rad valve to clear it after a full powerflush.
