The pressure is continually dropping on my boiler, even when the heating is not on. This is quite significant - it drops at least 1 whole bar per day and I have to keep topping it up. The boiler has just been serviced and he thought it would now be all right, but it isn't. I can't find any leaks anywhere and I would have thought I might do so with this amount of drop in pressure.
Is there anything else that could be causing this problem, and / or is there any other way of finding any leaks as a lot of the pipework is hidden behind fittings etc?
Am I better to get a plumber in or a boiler specialist. I have boiler insurance with the gas Board.
ANy ideas will be greatly appreciated!

check the discharge pipe outside, if its dripping new prv reqd. BG should do this under contract unless you only have apliance cover (1star)
 
They did check the discharge pipe and said that was Ok.
I live in a flat and if there was some water leaking wouldn't my neighbours below know about it?
 
would expect neighbours below to notice a water leak,
what boiler/system do you have.
you ought to get BG back as they should cover this sort of problem, if you have a 3star contract

perhaps I should ring BG again. Not sure what star service I have.
Could it be that the dial itself is faulty or is this very rare ?
I have an Ideal Response 120
