    Hi all, some advice needed before I call out plumber. 3 radiators downstairs not heating. pipes to all 3 are cold. (2 in same room, 1 in another)
    1. heating is on
    2. valves are turned all the way anti-clockwise.
    3. have been bled, water came out straight away.
    4. turned off all radiators in the house (14) but 1 of the ones not working, it still didn't heat up.

    Radiators about 10 years old. Hot tank was changed out about 2 years ago and system was re-balanced at the time.

    Anything else I can try?

    Thanks all.

    What type of valve is it? Mine was jammed shut so I took the top part up and pulled it up with a pliers.

    What does your boiler pressure read?

    I don't know what boiler reads. I've oil central heating, don't see a pressure reading on it outside? but am assuming if all other rads heat up fine, boiler is ok?

    " 2.valves are turned all the way anti-clockwise" , Did you do this to the valve on one side of both valves on the rad
