Thank you very much. No I haven't done that, but I'll let you know.Do me a favour matey. Put the heating on and check to see if the side with the trv on gets hot first or the other side. You may have done this already?

If you open the TRVs fully (anticlockwise) or as suggested in #4, remove the heads, the system should be as it was before. If there's still a problem it sounds (literally!) like something else has been done, which the plumber isn't telling you about. If he's not prepared to come back and look at a system he's worked on I'd question his competence.Yes the system was quiet til 2 new TRVs were fitted in the lounge
Hi again. All the rads that have TRVs fitted warm up at the TRV end first, except one radiator in the lounge. On this radiator, the TRV has been moved from one side to the other (it might also have been replaced). I've attached a photo! I believe this is the only rad in the lounge (of 3 rads) that had a TRV fitted when my new boiler was installed 3 years ago. Sorry I'm relying a lot on memory! The reason I know for sure that the TRV has been moved from one end to the other is because I have an old photo with that rad in it!Do me a favour matey. Put the heating on and check to see if the side with the trv on gets hot first or the other side. You may have done this already?
On my quite old Honeywell TRVs they must be installed vertically on the flow, horizontally on the return. Don't know if yours are same, but if fitted wrong it might have something to do with it. But if it's wide open it shouldn't affect anything (in theory).ll the rads that have TRVs fitted warm up at the TRV end first
Well done! Glad to hearIt's fixed!! The mains water supply was off yesterday as maintenance was being carried out in the area. I don't know whether this has anything to do with my issues. Anyway when the water supply came back on I took your advice and bled the radiators again. I got air out of the kitchen radiator! I put the heating on and it was a lot quieter. I bled the radiators again and now it is back to normal and the rads and pipes are quiet. I've checked it this morning and it's fine. I can't thank you all enough. Not only did you give me advice, but you never let me feel I was alone with the problem. You really are amazing!

Ha! But of course in my case I tried to resolve the issue myself, I rang the plumber, he wasn't interested in helping me, he said he would phone me to arrange to come around and I gave him a week to phone me back but he didn't. It's you guys on this plumbers forum who gave me advice and support and who sorted my problem for me and I'm SO grateful. Thanks again!The OP posted it is fixed, would you like to the be the plumber called back on a Saturday only to find it is fixed!!!
