i copied / pasted this for you (sorry boys, it was from "simon"

If it warms up at any time it's a balancing issue not bleeding.The balancing valve is the lockshield cover one (tall one).If your covers are mixed up its the cooler pipe of the two when the system heats up.Close all the balance valves turn heating on and go round opening them,starting with the furthest from the boiler open about half a turn and slightly more with the subsequent rads.
Did you do any modifications or work on the system which kicked off the problem?

No it isn't normal even fror a new system. Did your installer flush the system properly then add inhibitor? If he left flux in there it will start corroding your rads and producing hydrogen, immediately. And your rads may rust through in 6 months.
