Amazing! Just somehow broke mine off this morning and instantly panicked thinking about costs of calling in a plumber 😂. Thought I’d check CZcams first and this came up. Gave it a try and it worked. You’re indeed a lifesaver 🙂

No problem.
Why can't all instructional videos be this clear and simple?!
and concise
To be honest, you can't really complicate a radiator valve
because they need 10minutes video to have tons of ads to earn money.. The longer the video is, the more profitable it is.
Thank you! I’m a support worker, myself and the person I’m supporting just managed this ourselves with no experience and we’re very pleased with ourselves
Great job! Well done.
Had a panic this morning after breaking mine off by accident, glad to find a video like this to ease my stress. All fixed now, thank you for the informative video!
No problem.
This is the second video of yours that has given me confidence to attempt things I otherwise would have paid a man for. The extent of my plumbing knowledge is that water is wet so something as basic as this is super helpful. I wasn’t sure if I was going to take the valve off and water would go everywhere! Saved me a packet thank you!
Excellent!
This is everything i needed. As i was regulating the valve, trying to get the right temperature, it came off. I didn't know how to screw it back on and thought i had broken it. After watching your demonstration, i was able to put it back on!! 👍🏼
That`s great.
Thank you for making this video!! Very clear and easy to understand. My radiator wasn't working, but after watching your video and taking the valve off, I realised the pin underneath was jammed in. A couple of minutes with a pair of pliers, and my radiator is now lovely and warm again! Thank you!
You're welcome!
I don't have much money and I try and help out my elderly mom with repairs. Thank you for all your tips.
That's great!
Another single lady saved by this guy. Thank you so much!
You're very welcome! Thanks Marie.
Thank you so much for this. The valve came away in my wife’s hand this morning and I couldn’t work out how to put it back on. Your video explained it really clearly and now it’s all fixed. Once again, thank you very much.
No problem.
You, sir are an absolute legend. Saved me so much hassle, thank you.
No problem.
Amazing thanks! One of ours has clearly just rotten and fallen off, I thought this was a plumber call out. You saved me £150! 😊
You're welcome!
Single lady fixing my own valve! WINNER!
Good on you. Keep up the good work. Ladies can do it as well as men.
I did it too on my own. So easy to do.
Congratulations.
Gender has no play madam. It just read the book and it goes as planned. :D
Congratulations for being a functional grown human
Are you free Saturday night?
Thank you soo much Sir, I love CZcams!! 😭 I was getting frustrated and struggling to figure it out on my own until I searched it up. Thought I was going to need to call someone for it 😅 but I did it and I’m relieved now 😌 Thanks again. 👌🏾
You are most welcome
Many years ago I had to do things with my radiator like turn it off in a room, decorate, or just have it off as a room was being used for storage. I'm back at a video of yours again, this time figuring out how to put what I was legitimately going to Google as "number temperature knob thingy" at one point.
I've got high functioning autism, and the approach to some simple things can feel initially daunting, despite having been to university and all that. Your videos are simple, to the point, and with a kind face that says it all.
Thanks for being a whole lot of help. Other CZcamsrs overcomplicate things for some reason.
Thanks you very much for your very kind comments. Al and Jan.
OMG it really is that simple! Life saver, thank you so much for posting!
No problem.
Hero! All other articles seemed to want me to replace the whole valve system, when I just needed the head. Ordered a new one now to fit tomorrow. Thanks!
No problem.
Thank you for all of your videos, they have been helpful to no end for me and my partner whilst renovating upstairs! Thank you so much!
No problem Harriet.
This is literally the most helpful video I have ever seen on the internet! Thank you, thank you!
You're very welcome!
Thank you for your videos. I used a couple today to fix a radiator. The best tool I used today by far.
Cheers
Liam
No problem Liam.
Fantastic video, thanks Al! One of the clearest, easiest explanations I've come across.
Glad it was helpful!
Smashing! Clear and simple instructions, I feel confident to tackle this myself now. Thanks.
No problem Charlie.
Thank you! Im a student and I just moved to Europe all by myself, so had no idea how these worked and nobody to ask. I appreciate the clear instructions. 👍
No problem Chloe.
Super helpful--got me over the hump of believing I could do this, and I love Dereton's smile and gentle manner!
No problem Jack.
Thank you! Moved into our student house months ago to find ours on the floor. Housemates like it a lot hotter than me so very helpful to get it fixed!
No problem Max.
One again a really useful video - thanks Al!
+1954BJohn . Thanks.
This chap is so helpful 👍🏼
Couldn't believe how simple that was - I have always been hesitant with plumbing jobs but this was simple! NICE
Thanks! 👍
Your videos are brilliant - I'm captain chaos when it comes to anything DIY and you always explain things in the best way.
Glad you like them! Thanks.
Brilliant video, thank you. I’ve got a radiator working again and I’m in the grip of the Beast from the East and Storm Emma at the moment, so your help was marvellous.
Thank you, as a novice this was clear and concise. Loved it.
No problem.
Two minutes long video and in another 7 minutes i had my new valve installed :))! Thank you Sir for your helpful video!
No problem.
Dereton33 you are a living legend in the world of plumbing. So much knowledge and experience being shared with a wannabe plumber like me.
That`s no problem, pleased to share it with you.
Just moved into a new house. Your videos are doing wonders! Thank you! 😊 😊 😊
No problem.
I accidentaly kicked that thing off but your video worked and it was simple so thanks
You're welcome!
Thank you so much! It really is simple! My poor boyfriend had been sleeping next to a radiator on full blast because the valve head came off and we didn’t know how to put it back on. Great, easy, simple video.
No problem
Really clear, helpful and without fuss. Thank you so much!
You're welcome!
Mr Dereton, you are a lovely guy! What a lovely plumber! And a FABULOUS demo. Now I know I can do stuff like this.
Thank you Surfer7901
You don't know how many folks this video's helped and going to help. Thanks so much and subscribed!
Thank you very much. Glad it helped you.
that is a clear speaking communicator if ever i heard one ! you are priceless sir !
Thanks, wife says I can talk my way out of anything. Ha ha.
Why can't all videos be like this? You got me out of a right pickle - I was so stressed - thank you so much!!!!
No problem Gary.
Derek, You are a national treasure my friend, thank you.
My pleasure!
Hey thanks, lovely. Nearly all of ours basically fell off within 6 months of us moving in to our place - I suspect they hadn't been touched in years and the heat got to the plastic. I imagined it was all far too alarming to fix myself (despite having done loads of other fixes in the house!). Now, I shall! Thanks again xx
No problem
Still the most helpful man on the internet. Thanks!
Thanks a lot Paul.
Thank you! I'd been mucking about trying to sort this but your video showed me how to get it right first time.
You are welcome!
I really like the straight forward clear explanations :)
Thanks Valerie.
Very helpful Indeed. The plastic connection on my myson thermostat just crumbled away and I was concerned about replacing it myself but this video has given me the confidence that I can 👍😃
You're welcome!
Very helpful video. Thank you
No problem.

No problem.
Thank you mate. Videos like yours are very helpful. Appreciate it
No problem 👍
Mine's leaking so I watched your other video using PTFE tape so, now I know how to get the the top off, I'm going to have a go at fixing the leak and hopefully save money on getting a plumber out!
You will do it just fine Marion.
Thank you so much for this. We thought we'd have to get a plumber in but saved ourselves so much time hassle and money
No problem.
Thanks very much for this video ,I have now fixed the radiator in the spare room.
Excellent!

No worries!
Quality. Exactly what I needed!
No problem Dave.
Great video!!!!! Glad that you don't have to switch anything off......just put a new one on. Thank you so much!!!
When normally changing the head then no, but if you are going to try to undo the top then yes.
Your videos are brilliant! Thank-you!
You're very welcome!
Once again Derek to the rescue! Thank you😊
No problem.
Thank you so much - very helpful. I wish you were my plumber! :) I've only had bad experiences.
Sorry to hear that Ann,we are not all bad, there are some nice plumbers out there.
Thanks I just fixed my one only by watching your video 👍 extremely helpful video indeed 😇
No problem Ali.
Thank you
You saved me so much hustle I was going to replace the whole elbow. Thanks again
No problem 👍
Thank you so much for this. I was quoted 65 quid to replace mine glad i looked on youtube to find your videos so i could do it myself
Great.
Thanks, it saved me a headache and a stuck TRV pin the culprit, an easy fix!!!
No problem.
Thanks mate, been looking at installing smart radiator valves, had no clue how to do it, but I reckoned it was a straight forward process. n1
No problem 😊
Very helpful thank you, pin popped up when I opened it and radiator now working!
No problem.
Thank you so much, thanks to you I got my radiator going again!
No problem.
Worked for me, did need a spanner like you said but then boom…heating back in a second👍🏼 cheers
No problem 😊
Thanks easy, short explanation, no flannel, to the point.
You're welcome!
thank you thank you thank you. My radiator's ancient valve head fell off and crumbled a couple of winters ago. It's been stuck on max power ever since! No longer too scared to try repairing it myself now, if I'd have know it was this easy I would have done it sooner!
You're welcome!
Many thanks, dereton33! This is so clear, uncluttered and to the point. I have already removed the valve head, in a matter of minutes (had to search my old grandad's toolbox for the right spanner/grip) and it was so satisfying. Now to replace the damaged bakelite one and hope that I can buy the right fit. (That superthanks... What is it? I'd like to give them, but it's a bit of a mystery how it works.)
You are welcome! Dont worry about the super thanks.
Your channel is so helpful, thank you
Thank you.
Great. Think the people that owned our house did happy shopper repairs and I believe have put this one on wrongly on ours so the identification notch is at the back. Will try this once its no long hot.
Thanks for a simple and pleasant video.
No problem Michael.
Thanks - excellent video and very easy to follow. Fortunately I have those exact valves.
No problem
What a sound guy, very helpful. Thanks
No problem!
Perfectly explained and videographed! Thank you!!
You're very welcome!
Nice clear informative video thnx for useful info as I'm trying to clean old paint off em as it just looks awful
No problem.
Thank you!! Just went to turn my radiator down and the entire value head just fell off. Thought I’d broken it! But after watching this I realised the nut had just totally come loose. Phew 😊
Glad it helped
Best diy videos on the net - thank you :)
Thanks for your kind comments.
Thank you, you legend! I thought mine was broken, I was going to pay to get it fixed...glad I watched your video before I did 😀
No problem 👍
This is brilliant! I took the thermostat off, oiled the pin, and now my daughter's room is warm again! Thankyou!
Glad it helped!
So.... I was messing around with my brother and snapped the whole thing off and the radiator was stuck on full blast! So I took the base with the twisty nozzle thing and stuck a coin inside and forced it on managed to shut it off temporarily but I will have to buy another to fix it properly, your video is a life saver!
No problem.
Thanks for this! Had a mare when 1 fell off completely in a house which already has a few wobbly ones. Couldn't even get it back on till I held the head in my head & turned it fully the other way after which it popped right on! Although I think I've screwed the direction of number to turn, but hey ho I'll figure it out when the heating is on. Cheers again, couldn't go to bed till I knew I'd fixed it!
That`s great.
Wow! That’s so simple. Thank you so very much
You are so welcome!
Great, very simple job! Thank you!
You are welcome!
