Really depends on the type of heating system you have? I lost my psychic powers a few years back 
Personally if it's a sealed system I use a towel rail rad (if there is one) and simply pour into the top after removing the blanking plug and draining the system of course or I pour it into a rad by doing similar however you can buy kits to inject it into a system but i prefer the pouring method.
On an open vent system you pour into the F&E tank after first drain some of the system water off.
As I said there are loads of different methods.

If a combi boiler I add inhibitor via a rad: after draining some water from system take out the top bung (like the air bleed screw but just a blank). Insert one end of a 15mm iso valve and gently tighten. On other end of iso valve is small length of copper pipe connected to small length of hose and then funnel. Pour inhibitor into funnel which then flows thru hose and past iso valve into rad (make sure iso valve open lol). You may need to open opposite air bleed valve to allow air to escape as inhibitor enters. One can add inhibitor like this at any time - just drain down some water, add inhibitor to a upstairs rad, then refill.
I am not a CH expert ... I'm sure somebody will chip in if I am wrong or have missed anything.

Thanks for that, yes it is a combi " alpha 500e fan assisted, room sealed, unvented hot water storage " whatever that means, your suggestion sounds straight forward, so I'll give it a go, cheers
