    Overflow pipe leaking and radiator removal
    Just removed two radiators ourselves (following online instructions) as we're having some damp fixed and wall replastered. We've not got the central heating running obviously... but since then the pipe coming out of our roof, over the guttering, has been gushing out water. I believe this to be the central heating overflow pipe? Will this stop once the radiators are reconnected or do we have a more serious problem?

    Hi Hailst

    It sounds like the water feed into the boiler isn't shutting off. Here, you can probably hear a hissing sound at the shut off valve going into the boiler... try tightening the shut off more.

    Check it out and report back... ;)
