So I just took a radiator off the wall to paint behind it, no problem there. The thermostatic radiator valve is now dripping and on close inspection the valve now turns on the pipe. It therefore looks like it needs to be reattached to the pipe so it now longer turns and creates a water tight seal.
I did manage to loosen the TRV (which caused a mess on my beige carpet
) and managed to tighten it. This has made a big difference and hardly any water is now escaping which is nice. The TRV still does turn on the pipe, however.
So how can I create a completely water tight seal (as it was before!)? Obviously I don't want to reattach the radiator and have the TRV leaking even if it is only a small amount.
