Nobody told me there's a specific order your should bleed your radiators in — I've been doing it wrong for years without realising, and I bet I'm not alone

While we're seeing some milder temperatures than we may be used to in December, it's an ideal time to check that your radiators are in good working order ahead of the inevitable cold snap (and not to mention the festive period).

If, like me, you've always felt pretty confident when it comes to how to bleed a radiator, it might surprise you to know that you should be bleeding your radiators in a very particular order, and for good reason.
