Hi,

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


Photos of problem:

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

(sorry for being thick)

You go into your local CH merchant, suck breath in between your teeth
and say

"ere mate, I need a thermostatic radiator valve ... trade"
