New radiator in loft causing problems

[Stevemarch1969]

Thanks to everyone on here for their help and advise it is much appreciated.

I will call the plumber who did the job and ask him to come and turn the pump round, failing which I'll draw a line under it and get a new plumber.

Thanks again.

Steve

check valve needs replacing or return pipework needs to be moved, this is your problem, nothing else. Pump does sound suspect, would recommend changing it round as although the heads can be swapped the propellers inside only go one way and the flow will only go one way. The only thing is that the boiler shouldn't fire up for more then a few minutes at a time if pump is wrong way round.

Some older boilers will work quite happily with the pump the wrong way round
