From the look of it you need to connect the loop to the two chrome pipes with the caps on right in at the back right of picture and open up the valves, put 1 bar of pressure in, close valves an bleed rads bottom to top, repeat if necessary.

Look at all those labels! That's cheating, surely? Any heating-related DIY work should have at least half the time staring at things trying to work out what they are.

I was going to ask, what lovely plumber left it all so clear.

I'll take a guess at one with a new apprentice

Looks tidy and labels are great and they've painted the pipes??

Just a bit odd that the filling loop isn't just connected with an NRV or maybe they can't be nowadays?

Also - don't think that pipe insulation is up to new build standards - should be much, much thicker!

Might buy some of these...

You see the two silver things with the caps on in the centre section of the photo? Connect the filling loop hose between those 2. Use a flat-screwdriver to pressurise the system to about 1.3 on the gauge under the red metal thing.

They seem to have helpfully put their name & contact info on a big label.

It does look very tidy. Is painting the pipes particularly common these days?

It's very common on new build estates. I'd guess this is a fairly new house and this system is was put in when the house was built.

EDIT: Yeah, just read the OP again...
