This young man is a marvel who is first class at getting all this advice across , Ten out of ten for all your advice
I have a radiator in my conservatory that hasn't worked right since the day I moved in. Tried bleeding it, flushing it and changing the TRV with no success. Did this and SORTED! Clear, concise and you talk to us like we're not idiots - great job, thanks!
+Rob Harrison Cheers Rob, really glad to have helped you out! Stay warm!
Bloody ell years of the rads in my house being crap I watched your video tother day and it's now bloody great, warm all over. Such a good result for a little bit of work. Thanks muchly.
Mate your clips are the dogs bollocks, you've saved me a little fortune and a headache.
Thanks
Dude you just saved Christmas!!! Ive had this problem for ages with two radiators at the front of the house never getting warm! I just followed your advice and they are all hot now! Have a brilliant Christmas my friend!
Great tips! Just put the heating on for the first time in our new house and thanks to your advice I've now got heat in 2 radiators that had none! Thank you!
Thanks PP, I have had a cold house for twenty years until I saw your presentation.
Every plumber just said a new boiler was needed , not one checked the balance of my system even after a new boiler installation,
Thank you, now in a tee shirt on Boxing Day!!!
Had two radiators that stopped working from one day to the next, researched for hours to figure out what the problem could be and was about to call a plumber but with your help I fixed it myself. Bled all radiators, balanced the system, repressurised - sorted! Thank you!
wow that has solved my problem turned down lockshield valves upstairs now have a hot rad in kitchen happy wife and warm kitchen many thanks
Thank you so much! I've had one radiator not working for about 18 months. Paid a very well respected plumber who serviced the boiler and poured some fluid into the radiator, charged me a small fortune and it still didn't work. Followed your video and my radiator is now piping hot!! Thank you so much.
Thanks, someone, who claimed to know, insisted I had it wrong. I've only been doing it as you described for about 40 yeas!
now walking like a boss after this simple fix resolved my heating issues :D thanks for this and "hold tight!"
This has just fixed my problem after a few days of pondering why one radiator was stone cold, but the others toasting! Had to drain system to re-fit loose wall bracket on an upstairs radiator; cleaned the system out whilst I had the chance (replaced valve with bleed spigot version - now a doddle!); added inhibitor and consistently had a stone-cold rad downstairs. Followed this guide and all rads now nice and toasty; system cleaned out, with inhibitor, ready for Winter. Thanks ever so much for great advice; put across in such an easy-to-understand way. Expert!
Brilliant. I've been back to this video a few times over the years...
Once again you have saved me money with your advice this is like the 5th time your videos have helped me fix the pluming. Your a legend
I bought a house with an old gravity fed system. The engineer in me is enjoying learning how it all works and these vids are great 👍 replaced some dog old 1700w rads in the bedrooms. Ridiculous sized rads. Anyway, finally have a balanced heat output for the first time
I've head 2 engineers on 2 separate occasions coming to do the balancing and £160 later they still did not manage. So I've taken it upon myself (a 44 years old woman with no clue) I have watched and listen to you on th8s video and I've sorted it myself. What can I say, you explained it in the most simple, way that can be understood even by myself. I thank you sooooo much and wish you well! You are doing a fantastic job helping others.
Balancing is fine tuning. You can only do it over a few days in my opinion.
I've read some frankly confusion instructions on line before coming across this fella. Within 30 minutes, the heat distribution in my house was sorted. Thanks very much for the no nonsense tutorial.
Richard Wash Cheers Richard! Glad to help!
Good video. Minor narration mistake, at 02:39 you are closing the Lockshied valve by turning it clockwise, not anticlockwise as you said. Good work.
I would say that’s a pretty major mistake
Exactly! you noticed it.😂
Great guidance in a well put manner, hasn't let us down yet. Thank you
Just fixed my double radiator in living room - no more blankets required watching TV - thanks guys for easy to follow instructions - my radiator become hot as soon as the TRV came off which obviously released the tension in the pin - bit tricky getting it back on - at the correct setting - I initially put the TRV switch back on in such a way that it couldn't be turned through the settings 1-5 , but had another go and positioned it properly - now everyone is warm and i'm there hero !!!
Genius! Well done fella. Just tried this method as my last 2 radiators in the new house were not getting warm. Restricted the upstairs ones slightly and hey ho, all rads warm again. Great vid!
Your videos are great! I know a wee bit about plumbing so they all make sense to me and I've learned a lot. My dad's a retired plumber and kept a telling me to balance my rads and how to do it but he didn't explain why. You should have more views...
Best plumbing vids on RUclips. I have a trench radiator that doesn't heat up. No air in the rad, heat gets into the feed pipe by the boiler (it has its own feed and return pipes coming off the main F&R for the rest of the rads) but doesnt make it to the trench rad. No TVR, but all valves are open. The only thing left I can think of is sludge. Have i missed something obvious? Thanks for the vids, they have been really useful.
Legit this plumber has saved me time & money. Thank you! 100% subbed 😊👍
2 video (
Good stuff! Well done mate.
Thanks mate
I always had a problem with one of the radiators in the bedroom now BINGO thanks to you i now have hot radiators ready for winrer 👍👍
I watched this before I was qualified and I never had a clue what you was talking about but now I have some years experience under my belt I know exactly what your talking about now I understand your plumbing language. I appreciate your videos
+Dion Clarke No worries Dion!
Great video. Great advice. I had a problem with random cold radiators around the ground floor of my house. Followed your advice and all working well now. Thank you very much 👍.
Just had a new combi boiler. The gentleman that installed it couldn't get the rads (upstairs & downstairs) to heat up evenly. Your excellent video nailed the problem and makes me think the installer doesn't know as much as he should do, before letting himself loose in other peoples' homes. Harrumph! Good show & Thank you!
Great stuff!...awesome educational video, covering all the necessaries, without any waffle!...Thanks a lot!
Excellent advice 👍 I turned a radiator off at Xmas time as it was close to my Xmas tree. Only just noticed (February time) that I hadn't turned it back on and now it didn't heat up! Followed your advice towards the end of your video and managed to release the stuck valve. Thanks 😁👍
Mate! After days of scratching my head and arguing with the missus... five mins watching your easy to understand videos, a quick run round the house's radiators and I have heat in the two radiators at the end of the line that were previously cold!
A hero! Subscribed, keep up the good work.
No worries fella. Enjoy your weekend!
Changed a radiator in conservatory in bungalow heard it filling up, bled all rads felt heat so went to next rad felt heat but lost heat on first. Tried closing all rads opened conservatory one got heat so went to next open valves felt heat in pipes so went to next rad no heat so back to first no heat stone cold. Closed of inline valve one end and bled got heat next rad no heat after bleeding for ages. Tried part opening all rads and bleed from one and with part shut inline valve we felt heat come through so open inline valve he sucked through got some heat in other rads but poor and first rad losing heat. Lots of bucket fills and part worked goto next part work back to first lost heat. Tried several other methods.
Was told plumber put pump under floor in lounge great try there.....cant its blocked in and have to rip floor up. In cupboard there is a new system solar pipe heating. Who? Needs heat when its sunny and hot...doh!
Fantastic presentation demonstration, all my radiator are now working perfectly, thank you Sir!!.
Wow..... you have helped me out massively! Thanks... i was really struggling but you really have helped! Well done and thanks!
Trikeman
Hello having watched your video tonight carried out your instructions regarding water flow and closing lockshield valves on all radiators upstairs and upon switching system on again It was great to find that all radiators both upstairs and downstairs are now nice and hot. Heating has not been this good since last winter when all the downstairs radiators but one stayed luke warm. Thank you for your advice, one happy person here..
I can't thank you enough, sorted my recent cold radiator problem by balancing.
Your tip about balancing was spot on. Thank you.
Got to say I have watched a few vids on balancing rads on youtube, and this is by far the easiest to understand.
Thanks so much for this! I spent the last two hours trying to figure out why my downstairs radiators weren't coming on, and then balancing it all out like you explained in this video fixed it! Legend.
Your video helped me fix a cold heater downstairs and a tank with no hot water! Thank you so much!
fantastic! Simple clear instructions now my heating is perfect throughout the house. Thank you
Thanks for the demo it has made a massive difference to the heating downstairs. 👌.
Amazing Channel. This video saved me at least £60 today.
You are so much calmer in these early videos. Fame has got to ya, baby!!! Thanks loads for these vids mate 8-)
+000djw000 Ha! No worries and thanks dude! Please sub >> ruclips.net/user/plumberparts
Someone has been out to fix my non working radiator today, fixed it and.left. Turned the heating off for a bit and back on and not working again! Followed your video half an hr ago and all working perfectly! Cheers! :)
Bloody hell worked for me !!
Heating working better than it ever Has.
After decorating etc. and removing rads never realised how important it was to balance the system !
Brilliant Cheer's for the tip .
Last radiator on line is really hot now.
Thanks again
This guy is a genius!
Thank you so much!!!
You have some really good videos very well edited and explained great sketches to this will help tons of people 💪🏽❤️👍🏽
So. After 2 powerflushes and 3 plumbers (to be honest, I am sure our system needed the flush) the two rads in my 'man cave' still wouldn't work. 25mins after watching this... I was complaining to my wife I was too hot!
Thank you very much indeed. We will be coming to you/ when we need any plumbing done. Nice one PP.
I’m in a bungalow. The heating has worked fine for 32 years then for no apparent reason two radiators on a spur wouldn’t get hot. Bleeding didn’t help so after watching this video I temporarily closed down three of the other rads and it cured the problem, proving that a bit of balancing might need doing, although it’s a mystery why it should happen after 32 years. Thank you.
Thank you ***** - this video worked a treat! Our house is so much warmer now.
Thanks for this worked a treat. Had three new radiators added to the system in the summer in a part of the house that has never had any. Two of the new ones had water in but never got even warm so turned the locksheild valves right down on all the upstairs radiators and like magic they got warm. Then just adjusted the vales downstairs to balance the system out. My first thought was that the pump was'nt strong enough to push the water around too the new radiators glad it turned out to be a simple fix.
Straight to the point advice. Thanks.
Fantastic video! - Solved my issue of extending a radiator in the living room to another wall and it receiving no hot water. After balancing the other radiators its instantly hot! - who knew it was that simple
Excellent, thank you very much i thought I had a rough idea, but this REALLY helped me with my couple of cold rooms
No worries dude! SUBSCRIBE! ➡️👉 ruclips.net/user/plumberparts 👈⬅️if you haven't already!
Thankyou so much i used this information to fix my heating in my house iv been in with my kids for a yr and a half,took a half hour to bleed and balance the radiators and they all work perfect now,im saving for a combi boiler and just for this information i am going to buy all the parts and boiler from you guys,many thanks this xmas from this now warm home,great stuff
Hi Scott. Now worries mate, glad to help! We don't actually sell parts, but you can donate to my Patreon if you like!
Brills - was just about to call in a plumber to fix mine. So chuffed I have done it myself and saved money!
Thank you for a straight forward explanation 👍🏻
Trying this tomorrow - kitchen is FREEEEEEZZZING today!! Will keep you posted!
How did it go Noreen?
Made no difference - beginning to think that it could be a problem with the system - we have a solid fuel stove and even when it's on full blast the rads are not heating fully. Wonder would a pump issue cause this - if the pump was failing?
Excellent explanation.
Brilliant advice, sorted my problem.
Brilliant video and coach!
worked like a charm, thank you
Nice one, couldn't get some of my rads hot now all working great! Spent ages previous messing about wish I'd have found this clip sooner!
You are spot-on . the system is working perfect now - Many thanks for great videos
Cheers mate! Glad to help! SUBSCRIBE! ➡️👉 ruclips.net/user/plumberparts 👈⬅️if you haven't already!
Great tip for balancing the rads Many Thanks for the tips . Shall look again if i have any more problems ( id put 2 rads in my conservatory and they were only warm not hot ) easy fix only took me 1/2 hr . THANKS AGAIN .
Perfect. Worked a treat
good video. worked a treat. cheers.
Thanks dude! All our radiators are working a treat..great tip..so smiple! Adz.
Bloody brilliant advice, many thanks.
great video, found out exactly what I needed to do!
What a star, was on the verge of calling a plumber, tried this and as we speak the downstairs rads are heating up!!!
great video perfectly explained and so easy to understand.
Cheers, Scott! Pp!
Thank you for your video, you helped me fix my cold radiator. I have no idea how our lock valve got turned off but that's what needed adjusting :)
After much persuading my husband tried this to shut me up, glad to say it fixed problem. Still no thanks from hubby but thank you.Plumberparts.
Well aren't we pleased with ourselves! I can only assume your husband has infinite patience...I suppose it never occurred to you to follow the simple instructions yourself instead of nagging him to do it...equal rights n all that...and clearly it hasn't occurred to you that perhaps it should be you thanking him...but then I suppose he stopped believing in miracles shortly after the wedding lol
Even tho some of these videos are straight forward to a plumber , they are still very well explained thanks for your time doin these 👍🏽
thank God I found this video,
now I don't have to sleep in the cold anymore.
thanks alot 👍 👍
No wozzers Gazza!
Great video mate, thanks!
Excellent mate. Thanks a lot for this video.
still 11 years younger :) top video & most importantly presenter .. :)
Haha! Thanks man. Old and knackered now! 😂
Great video again!
Well explained!
Many thanks, that done the trick.
All the best.
Thanks. It worked for me.
Very useful video!!
excellent cleary described.
+L Jaromin No worries, glad you enjoyed!
Hello - really helpful, my heater furthest away from boiler wasn't working at all but it is now!
Thank you
Hello mate. I had this problem you fixed it thankyou so much top man ;)
I have slowly unbalanced my central heating through years of DIY removal and replacement of radiators for decorating etc. This is soooo obvious once you see it. Thankyou so much.
+Craig M Cheers Craig!
Absolute legend 💪 small tip big results
Thanks for your help !
Wow. This is awesome. This dude does a great job describing how to heat balance your system.
Cheers Abe! Glad to help!!!,
Thankyou very much works a treat
hi, great video and has helped push more hot water to my lounge rad 😊 only problem is now my combi boiler has started to make some knocking noises. Any advice on why it's now knocking and how to stop it? the system has fernox in it and previously been de-sludged with a radiator treatment 🤔
Very good information for households
+Breda Wallace Cheers mate! PP!
All I can say is thank you! Had a power flush done because one radiator wasn't working, then after the powerflush all 3 downstairs radiators were stone cold. the plumber said my boiler was old and faulty and then tried to sell me a new one! I saw this video and rebalanced all the radiators myself and viola! have heat again!
No worries Adibah, glad to help anytime!
Very good tips
