I've just had my conservatory flooded by a radiator leak while I was off
on holiday. I'm a
DIY novice so I though I'd seek some wisdom here

I'm assuming I will have to replace the radiator. What I need to know is
whether I can get
the ChemDry people in to clean up and possibly replace the carpet etc.
before I replace
the radiator - I've closed the valves to stop any more water leaking out.
Or would people
recommend getting the radiator switched first (which I'll need to wait for
a few days to
do until I have time)?


The first thing to do is to inform the insurance company. They will (with
luck) arrange everything and charge you the excess/wear and tear, which is
usually well worth it. In any case, is ANY claim is to be made they want to
know straight away and not have customer based delays involved.

In the unhappy case that you aren't insured, clearly you do the radiator
first!
