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?

There should be another valve on the other side of the radiator,
probably covered by a click-on cover. If you haven't got a handle to
fit it you can use an adjustable spanner. It's a good idea to make a
note of how many turns it takes to close the valve if it's not fully
open, then you can reopen it the right amount after the other one is
fixed.
