This is what I did when my radiators stopped working when it was sub-zero outside — and I didn’t need to call a pro

Why oh why is it that radiators and boilers always seem to decide to play up just when we need them most? Its like they wait all year for temperatures to drop just a little bit to play up.

Last week, sitting working from home, I became aware that could no longer feel my toes. Upon realising this, I went to see whether the heating was on, which it was – and yet, the radiator nearest where I was working was freezing cold. Typical.
