Mend Radiators Boiler Plumbing

Why are 3 of my radiators not working?

I've recently had my boiler moved and now 3 of my 1st floor radiators remain cold, when all others are ok. i can't get a hold of the guy who moved the boiler. Could it be that he's reversed the pipes, incoming is now out going etc. As the rads in question have thermostatic valves?

If you have the heating on, and as the other guy stated, the valves may not be multi directional, if you feel below the valve on the pipework, check to see which is the hottest, the hottest one will be the flow from the boiler, make sure the arrow on the TRV is facing in to the rad if fitted on the flow, and vica versa if fitted on the return.
The only other thing is air, make sure you have bled all the rads in succession, when the system is cold.

Are the trvs old, if so they may not be bidirectional which means the pipes must be connected the correct eay roundie valve on flow.
Try turning of all rads that are working and see what happens

I WOULD SAY YOU HAVE TRAPPED AIR IN PIPEWORK
