leaking boiler - advice please

frost thermostats

Hi The frost stat is there to protect the boiler, if the temp goes below a set temp about 5-7 degrees it will switch the boiler on so that it will protect it from frost damage. If it is not in the way I would leave it.
Hope this helps.

Draining a radiator

Yes you have a faulty valve, you will need to change it, either drain down the system, (safest way) flush out several times , change valve, please do not forget to put inhibitor back in.
Hope this helps.

Can cruddy/sludgy radiators be cleaned by eddy-current unit
