Hi Everyone,
I recently had my Y plan central heating system overhauled by a professional plumber. The system was cleaned and flushed, radiators removed and washed through, all new TRV and valves at opposite end renewed, a filter fitted, and chemical put in to stop it getting dirty again. Boiler was also serviced. It was balanced and bled through..... allegedly.
That was a few weeks ago and this is the first time we've put it on. The radiator with the longest run from the boiler is cold. it gets a bit luke warm, probably not even that hot after system has been on quite a while. I've tried bleeding it through the bleed valve myself with the pump on, and a jet of water just comes out under pressure, but no air, as far as I can tell.
I have contacted my plumber several (loads of times), but he either doesn't turn up and gives an excuse, or just ignores my phone calls/messages. I paid a loads of money to have the work done, and am disappointed that he won't finish the job. He even said once, it was a quick fix, but still hasn't turned up to do it.....rant over :-).
Any advice or suggestions please that I can do, don't really want to get somebody else in as I think I have paid enough already. The radiator is in the room where we spend most of the day unfortunately, so it's important to get it working before winter. Thank you.
