I have eleven radiators in my house and the only one which causes problems is the one column, chosen due to lack of space where I wanted it.

Is this a 'tall' column rad? What's the issue - trapped wind? barp...

Yes to both

Thanks all.

Think we are going to go with column rads. Guess they are deemed as "designer" rads 

What is the reasoning behind using Loctite (over PTFE tape) for these rads?

Going to go with Screwfix's Acova range. The BTU ratings are based on Delta 50, which is good.

Is 20% sufficient to "overshoot" the BTU calculations?
