First of all, you can make sure there is no air by opening the bleed valve, normal location of the bleed valve is at the top end of the radiator, but do not over undo what is known as the bleed. Still no heat! If the water is coming out, then the next step would be to make sure both valves are fully open by turning them anti clockwise. Sometime when opening the radiator, it may seem that the valve is open, but there is a possibility it may be closed. Before you decide to get an emergency plumber, Coventry for example, then what we would like to try is, if you have a thermostatic Radiator valve is to take the thermostatic head off and then get a pair of grip and pull this up and down a couple of time. This may fix the problem, but if not and you live in Coventry then you could call Jeff by searching for an Emergency Plumber Coventry which Jeff may attend.
