Re: Repairing Stiff but now Seized up tap

sounds like the tap is dead or the washers gone
does it have an isolation valve under the sink for the hot water if so turn it off
other wise turn off the water and drain by running the the tap until it stops.
use a adjustable wrench to take the top off the tap
see instructions

Re: Fitting Radiator Termostatic Value but Unsure If I can Unscrew old one?

Rad Thermostas just unscrew at the base. if you have bought one look at the bottom it will fit on the radiator and presses down on the valve to release water
no chance in water leaking from your rad
