  • I'm mostly worried that it will not seal again. Doesn't look like it's ever been vented that way - at least not since the former owner choose this lovely colour to go with the lavender walls and turquise cupboards...

    You should have isolators/taps at the base of the rad, if the top vent fails to seal then isolate the entire rad, pull the vent plug completely and wrap it with tape/sealing gunk and reinstall.

  • No isolators or taps. It's an old single string central heating system. I need to call my plumber tomorrow anyway, so I guess I'll wait 'til I see what he suggests.
