so had the prv pipe undone for 6 days, small plastic bag over it with paper inside to see if any water comes into it.....none. The pressure was set at 1.5bar and has dropped to around 0.2bar when off and goes up to 0.7bar approx when heating is on. CH and HW both fine. 2 rads look like have...

ah suppose that would do the same job wouldn't it...… undo the nut, move the pipe to the side and put a bag or something over it to check!

I would but its a 1st floor flat with the pipes coming out onto the roof of the access stairs into the old building, and course this time of year the roof there is wet so seeing any drips or moisture is difficult.

perfect, will do! going to do it on sunday as in the flat doing some things over next couple days and will need the heating on.

so it isolate it, guessing it's the CH flow and return, its switch off boiler, increase pressure to say 1.5 bar ,turn the screw 90 degrees at the isolater on flow and return then wait a few days see if pressure drops ? While keeping the boiler switched off yes?

it's on programmed timer so on for a few hours in the morning then all evening. All the radiators seem dry around the pipes, the kitchen boiler does need bled though as it's cold at the top.

So today was last day of tenancy so been up switched off the boiler and topped pressure up to bout 1.3 bar, will monitor it over next few days see if it holds. Couldn't see if the pipe outside was dropping as the rain was lashing into the window in utility room where boiler is and wasn't putting...

Yeh been fine. Flat nice and cosy and plenty hot water.

nah would say understanding it fine, CH and hot water been fine and boiler kicks in when CH timed to come on no probs.

that's brilliant thanks terryplumb, will try that this week see if can see anything. know there was a blockage in the pipes under the floorboards in the hall a year or so ago, but that got sorted (new flooring required) and the heating and hot water been fine since even with this no pressure.

pics attached..... any common areas for leaks terryplumb?

Evening all, Wondering if someone could advise me on a query on the Greenstar 28i Junior Combi boiler I have in a property I let out. In process of tenants moving out, with new ones due in end of the year, but had look at the plumbing set up and found something wasn't sure about. Basically...
