Out of curiosity. Why do you need to change 6 radiators?I used to be indecisive but now I am not sure.0

Good question.I can afford anything that I want.
Just so long as I don't want much.0 -

The OP's post showed they nothing at all about what was being done.

Absolutely spot on.
and on that note I would have wondered if some of the rads couldn't have been re-located.
But if 10 yrs old or more then its not worth it."Unhappiness is not knowing what we want, and killing ourselves to get it."Post Count: 4,111 Thanked 3,111 Times in 1,111 Posts (Actual figures as they once were))Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.0 -
A big mistake i made a few years back when changing the radiator in one of the bedrooms, i'd drained it and thought it was empty but when we tilted it to slide down the stairs, a load of sludge came out, we had pretty new pale carpet that now had a black stripe down it. So the tip is always carry radiators upside down.Liverpool is one of the wonders of Britain,
What it may grow to in time, I know not what.
