    My radiator is leaking

    • Answer
    • To limit the damage from any leak, turn off the valve at each end of the radiator, find a container to hold the leak, then book a callout.

      If need be, direct the leaking water into the container by tucking a plastic bag behind the radiator.

      If your radiator has a thermostatic valve

      The valve may open automatically if the weather is really cold and the room temperature drops a lot. This will mean that water continues to leak even though the valve has been turned off. If this is the case, we recommend you book a callout.
