My daughter recently moved into her first owned property and is renovating room by room. She has a GF flat and wants to drain down the CH system to be able to remove radiators as required now the heating is no longer necessary.
On my own CH, I have a tank in the loft where I just support the ballc0ck to stop the system refilling once the rads have been drained.
She doesn't have a loft tank, just a Gloworm boiler with attached timer and shut off valves on most of the piping in the boiler cupboard.
What do I need to do to stop the rads refilling short of turning off the valves to each rad ?(I don't find they are that good at completely stopping the water on older valves)
I still want to keep the water supply available in the kitchen/bathroom for obvious reasons.
