When my heating is on i find some of the radiators are hot at the top yet cold at the bottom , i have tried to bleed them but it seems to mak little or no difference.

Hi

Have you had a look at the DIY Projects section: https://www.diydoctor.org.uk/projects.htm There are numerous projects related to Central Heating that may provide the answers you're looking for.

HI Dave,

Cold spots can indicate a sludge build up. Way to check, if you are able, is to drain off one of these rads to check the water/sludge (when cold).
