Why is my radiator making a gurgling noise?

FAQ banner image

Home radiators tend to make gurgling noises on account of trapped air within them, which is trying desperately to escape the component. Though hot water is used to heat radiator pipes, air can occasionally become trapped with this water, leading to cold spots at the bottom of the radiator.

To fix the issue, bleeding a radiator is the most simple and common means to use. It is generally recommended that radiators are bled at least annually anyway, so they are primed for optimal use in the colder winter months of the year.
