    Hello, i just got a fill of oil for the next few months.I had to get a guy to service the boiler as it kept cutting out as was told possible sediment/dirt got through the pipe, got that fixed but now 2 of my radiators are cold, have bled them several times but still cold, very frustrated, any advice appreciated.

    Thanks

    A bit more info would be helpful ,
    Are they upstairs / downstairs .
    Was this happening before the work on the boiler.
    Have they thermostatic rad valves fitted.

    Make sure the valves are open on the cold rads and turn all of the other rads off and see if they heat

    Get in a service man to adjust the system. All radiators should show the same exit temperature. That's a basic of standard central heating systems.

    Close all radiator except the ones not heating to establish if there is flow to them, if so, then the circuit may need balancing

    Is there a wall stat that might be turned down , is there an actuator which might be faulty
