Turning on a radiator valve - landlord or tenant expense?

My tenant told me her bedroom radiator was cold, and that she had tried bleeding it. I sent a plumber round and it transpired the thermoshield valve was off. Once turned on, the radiator heated up fine. The thermoshield valve requires the cap to be taken off, and a spindle turned. Is the £70 a tenant or landlord expense? I had had the gas safety check ten days before and it’s possible (though not likely) that the engineer had turned the valve off. The tenant says it wasn’t her who turned it off (she lived there last winter too).
