Hi, hope someone can help
I've just moved into a brand new property and am having problems with the boiler and water pressure. It's a 2nd floor flat if that makes any difference.
First we noticed that the whole flat was always cold even with the radiators all on full, the thermostat set to +30 and the radiator control set to max on the boiler. Then the boiler started making loud noises - screaching and banging - which only stopped if I turned the heating off at the boiler. The next problem is that there is hardly any water coming from the hot tap in the bath. It takes at least 20 minutes to fill the bath halfway and if you use the shower attachment it's much worse. Then all the radiators and the pipes that feed them started banging. Now the boiler won't light and I've got no heating or hot water at all. The pressure on the boiler was hovering around 1.25 (it says it should be between 1 - 1.5), but now it's gone down to 0.2.
I'm going to call my landlord to get them out to fix it as it's not working at all now, but would be interested to know whether the bathroom tap or funny noises have got anything to do with this.
Also does anyone know if there is anything I can do to improve the pressure coming from the bath hot tap?
Many thanks
Julie
