Checked pipes under floorboards in one room today. Quite a job for a novice like me. Couldn't find any leaks. Got 2 more rooms to go, then the concrete kitchen floor. I did realise that if I leaving the hot water tap running, then the boiler pressure doesn't drop. The same is the case with the...

I will do. Thanks for your advice so far.

I've looked at the concrete floor with the imaging camera but cannot find any leaks. The pipes under the floorboards are hard to see with the camera so I guess its taking out the floorboards time.

What about floorboards with carpets

I got a Thermal camera and had a look. But not sure exactly what signs I'm looking for.

Should I be looking at all the pipework or just the ones connected to the central heating system?

Us there any way to test if the boiler isolatiin valves are not closing fully allowing the mysterious water to run back down to the system.

The only place with floor tiles is the kitchen. Otherwise rest is floorboard.

I already checked all visible pipes. There's no wet patches on any ceilings. Radiators are all dry. This leaves ground flooring. I suspect it could be the pipes ubder the dining room floor boards. That rood was converted 3 years ago and builders installed new pipes and radiators.

Is there any way of identifying where the leak is without ripping up fllorboards and walls? Is there a way to test one set of pipes at a time?

Pressure remained at 0 so I had to manually top it up.

Done exactly as you said. In the morning the pressure was zero and there was not a drop of water from either pipes.

Yeah, most of the pipework is buried under floor or walls.

Thanks, will do. Message back in the morning.
