Recently had a leaking bathroom tap ( mixer tap with shower connection ). My brother in law changed the washer for me. The flow wasn't great before but now it has been reduced to such a trickle that we can't fill the bath. Is it possible that my brother in law used the wrong size washer or that...

Thanks for the all the replies guys - always pleased to be able to cause intellectual friction between professionals. We live in a 3 story house but we don't use the rads @ the top of the house. There are only 7 rads in total ( 3 of which are hardly ever or never in use ). If it happens...

Just to give you an update - a man from group force (or whatever the're called) came out to look @ the boiler ( free of charge as they had done the initial work) and believes the expansion vessel is fine and can find no fault or reason why it may still be losing pressure. I asked whether it may...

Many thanks Slugbaby and Chrishutt. Thats given me plenty to chew on.............I'll let you know the outcome.

He tells me that I will know over the next few days whether this will solve it for good. The PRV doesn't appear to be leaking any more but I will...

Thank You Rob - :D Much appreciated. Haven't noticed any leaks other than water draining out of the overflow pipe on occasion. Is the air vent inside the boiler easy to check? What am I looking for ?

I keep losing my hot water and central heating due to my system losing pressure. Every time it happens I go to the radiators at the top of my house, let air out and then fill the system back up with water until the pressure is back up with 2.0. The hot water and central heating then works for a...
