Hello people, please be gentle with me, I'm an IT expert and I don't speak Central Heating.
I have a boilermate II which at 3.30am on Wednesday decided to start screaming. I shut it down, did some basic investigation including talking to Gledhill and found that the F+E tank wasn't filling. Got a man in this morning who found that the diaphram was stuck, fixed it and it filled up nicely, sorted the pump so it stopped making the noises, however, he couldn't after 3 hours get any water back into the system. Backfilling he said would mask the problem, that he thought there was a blockage in the coldfeed.
My questions are:
1. Is this fixable? I will ask Gledhill on Monday but I'm a bit desperate.
2. Could it be something else?
3. Can anyone recommend someone who can help me in the Grays/West Essex area?
I should add that the radiators when bled show nothing, no water, no air.
I'm afraid I'm being a complete girls blouse about it all, you don't realise how much you depend on this stuff until it's not there.
