One of our radiators is cold - has been for a couple of weeks since we turned the thermostatic valve back on. I've been putting off ringing a plumber as it takes ages and is expensive.
Suddenly remembered last night that BG 3* covers radiators. Rang at lunchtime - the chap said "is this afternoon OK?" - I said it was and he said ok, some time between now and 6.
5 minutes later the phone rang to say engineer was en route - 10 minutes after that he was here 
- fixed stuck valve one end and leaky valve the other and gave the boiler a quick once-over! How good is that!!!
Must write to one of those consumer columns and tell them!

That's encouraging. We have that cover but have never had to call any one out. Thanks for posting.
