Over last few months some of the upstairs rads. have starting coming on even though I have pressed switch to off. the other day while having oil boiler serviced I asked the guy. I said I thought it was a valve problem (motorized) he said no, it was a sludge problem. Recommended full clean out using chemicals and new lever valves too. I'd have thought sludge in the system would stop the rads. heating - not the reverse when switch is off.... Anybody had a similar 'problem'? Quoted €275.
