    Laying new tongue and groove floorboards

    Don't leave any gaps between the boards if you are nailing them to the joists - nor if you are glue them - remember to leave a gap all around the outside though (by the skirting).

    Boiler Losing Pressure

    Sounds like its losing pressure from the leak in the towel rail - how does it manage to heat up the other radiators without pressure or did you close off the towel rail?
