It's only a couple of years old.


It gives the appearance of needing to be bled - half the radiator is hot, half cold. But bleeding makes no difference.

Do you have a sealed loop (combi) system. If so check the pressure at the boiler as you may need to add some water to the system.

Replace it with a newer model.

Change the specification document to remove any hint that the radiator shuold emit heat, then re-release. Voila, the decorative, metalic towel hanger is no longer broken

Like the thinking - are you my client?

Yeah, it's probably the little pin that holds the water back. It's connected to the valve and sometimes they get stuck in. If you pull it out with a pair of pliers and maybe wiggle it about, that might cure it.

Will get the plumber to look when he is round here next.

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

Yes.

If you are a sole-trader you can probably claim a deduction for maintenance. If you are a MyCo you cannot.

The one in my bathroom has stopped working, even when I bleed it. Any advice?

Repairs and maintenance
A proportion of the cost of general household repairs and maintenance is allowable in line with the proportion that the house is used solely for the business. Examples include the general redecoration of the exterior or repairs to the roof.

Repairs that relate solely to part of the house that is not used for the business, such as decorating a room not used for the business, are not allowable. Equally if a room is used solely for business purposes then the cost of redecorating that room is wholly allowable.

For more information on what is a repair see BIM46900 onwards.

I see. I like all of those things

No. I do not like chutney. I like the oniony sauce

Perhaps this is an in-joke of some sort. Spartacus?

If we are talking about Russel Crowe films about gladiators then I really dislike films about gladiators and any film that is more than 1 hour 40 without a very good reason.

Have you bled your radiators?

Yes. I find it immensely satisfying.
