Recently, we have found the radiator in the upstairs bathroom coming on, even though the heating and hot water are turned off. There seems to be a hissing sound in the radiator. Any ideas?

Often the bathroom radiator is used as a "safety valve"
Have you tried bleeding the radiator?Eight out of ten owners who expressed a preference said their cats preferred other peoples gardens0 -
Where is the heating turned off? In some plumbing systems one radiator, often a bathroom one, is permanently on to. I think this system used to be more common and was to prevent the water overheating.
But you say this is a recent issue and if it didn't happen previous years it sounds like something has changed - perhaps a valve or sensor has become clogged?But a banker, engaged at enormous expense,Had the whole of their cash in his care.

Mind, please come back and tell us when you find out what was causing your radiator to 'magically' heat up..
