Hi,

My young cousin snapped the tap of a radiator (in a rented student
house)

It's very hot. Is there a way to switch the radiator off?

Buy a new TRV head -- they are available separately.
Meanwhile, drape a large towel over the radiator to
reduce heat output.

What's a TRV head [is it the tap?], where can I buy it? Do I need any
specialist tools to attach it?

Thanks for the advice
