I have a problem with the radiator in my bedroom, Its not getting hot at all. Its just this one, the rest are fine, I've tried bleeding it but this hasn't made a difference, is there anything i can do/try before getting a professional in?
Its been like it for a while, never bothered me to be honest but the missus keeps moaning at me that she's cold. (wimp)

OK you bled the radiator, but what kind of boiler do you have? Have you checked the pressure is OK as it will drop now the radiator is bled?
Does it have a thermostat on the radiator itself? Maybe this is knackered?

I had this problem Chubbs, my bedroom rad was only getting slightly warm at the bottom.
You just need a radiator key and as others have said just bleed it.

My guess would be that the Thermostat on the radiator is knackered.

if it's an old system the rad could be full of shit and not letting the hot water through.
take the rad off and clean it out.
But check pressure in your system first. at cold it should sit at 1Bar
