    Before you bleed your radiators, ensure your heating is turned off and your radiators have completely cooled. Although a screwdriver can be used for some modern radiators, most radiators require a radiator key to bleed. ... Once all your radiators have been bled, check the pressure of your boiler gauge.

      You bleed the radiator once the heating has been turned on. That way you know the water is being heated through-out the radiator. Who told you to turn the heating off?

    First you turn the central heating full on to identify which radiators need bleeding, then you turn it off and allow the radiators to cool down until they are comfortable to touch.
