How to bleed a radiator when one room stays cold
Check the valves and boiler pressure before you bleed. Stop if pressure keeps falling, you smell gas, or every radiator is lukewarm. Then open a plumbing list.

Check the house before you call a tradesperson
Low boiler pressure, a roof after rain, and a damp patch on the wall: checks you can do tonight, and the point a plumber, roofer or builder should take over. They are not a quote or a grant decision.

What to do when the boiler pressure is too low
Read the gauge, use the filling loop only if the handbook says so, and stop if the needle will not hold or you smell gas. Then open a plumbing list if you need a number.
Read the guideA roof check after rain you can do from the ground
After wind or heavy rain, look from the garden and the loft hatch. Do not walk the covering. Call a roofer when water is in, slates are off, or the loft is wet.

Condensation after a shower is not the same as a stain that grows after rain. Work out which room and which weather before you phone a plumber or a builder.
Read the guideWhat these pieces are for
A guide answers “can I check this tonight?”. It does not replace a site visit or a written quote.
Guides write
- The check you can do Gauge, loft hatch, stain after rain — steps that stay on the ground or in the cupboard.
- The stop line Gas smell, live water on electrics, weather coming in. That is a call, not another step.
- Where to open next The directory, a cost note, or a calculator. You still place the call.
Guides do not write
- A price this site can honour For pounds, use the cost notes. A guide is not a tariff.
- A grant decision For the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, use the grant notes. This list does not decide eligibility.
- A job sent on your behalf Nobody here emails a tradesperson. The contact-details page shows the same public numbers.
Questions before you start a check
A guide answers whether you can check something tonight and when to stop. Costs give a briefing in pounds. Grants explain schemes such as the Boiler Upgrade Scheme. None of them is a quote or an eligibility decision.
Guide, costs or grants?
01
Guides are the check. Costs are pounds. Grants are who the scheme allows you to call.
Do I need an account?
02
No. Open the piece and read it. There is no login on this site.
Does this send my job?
03
No. You open a list and use the phone number printed there.
When do I stop?
04
Gas, live water on electrics, or weather coming in. Put the checklist down and call.
After you have read a piece
If the check ends on a phone call, open the matching list. If you only need a range or a rule, stay on costs or grants.
