Hi all, Slapper - Will get him to do all of those things when he comes round tomorrow but im pretty sure he will have done it since he has spent a total of 6 hours with it so far iover the last couple of weeks. I will see what he can do tomorrow then i will get Worcester out, but im almost...

HI slapper, i understand, i assume that the pump has gone since it refused to move water around the system. I am also assuming that i will be without water or heating for a very long time since my plumber says he will look at it tonight and then will have to give up. Worcester Bosch call...

Today something new!! I pressurised the system, put the hot water on for 15 mins before i went to footy and then tried to get a shower. No hot water from taps. Boiler running and heating tank. I turned of water and turned on heating as a test. Boiler switched itself off and pump failed to kick...

Hello, If you missed my last post then this is a new problem (the other one isnt sorted either). My boiler was losing pressure, had heat exchanger and PRV replaced and still doing same thing. Still loses pressure in about two hours when turned off. Today something new!! I pressurised...

Thankyou both! I have the plumber coming back on Monday (no heating till then! brrrr!) but he is going to start from scratch and 100% rule out the boiler. I have asked him to cut the pipes from the rads to the boiiler, seal them up, attach a pressure meter, pressurise them and see what...

I had to do this at my old place as its like glass when wet. Buy a cheapo pressure washer (£25). Work a treat, you wont need any bleach or similar. Took me about 1.5 hours to about 10 sq metres. You will get wet if its windy though. :)

I have two areas of concern in two seperate bits of the house. 1. I have an old yorkist range the chimney of which has been capped off. Around the range (on either side not above) the paint and plaster turns to dust and falls off the wall. Also in more severe areas it bubbles up into a powder...

Hi gblades, re the amount of water thats what i was reckining per day ( a milk bottle or twos worth). Also i have had the thought about where it could drain without me noticing. The only problem is that i just dont see how that much water daily could drain down through the concrete floor...

hi again burnerman, The plumber pulled out the burner the other day and replaced the nozzle for me. Im hoping that he would have noticed if the water jacket was leaking. He seems fairly competent. Ta

Hi there gblades and thanks for a really helpful post. Here are a few further bits of context that you may be able to make suggestions for. 1. The boiler is a combi and is on the ground floor (under a chimney where there was once a range). The hot water used to be heated by the fire but...

Thanks Burnerman, Ive had a pint glass under the escape pipe outside for the last two hours whilst the heating and water have been turned off. Pressure drop by around 0.4bar. Empty! so the new PRV seems to be happy enough. Since it has a brand new heat exchanger im pretty confident in that too...

Hi both and cheers for the response. Have checked both and they appear fine. I suppose my question is looking at what you have said is as follows: Can air escaping be causing the pressure loss in the system? Since i am topping the water up a few times a day through the filling loop (to get it...

I have a heat slave 15/19 oil fired combi boiler that is driving me and my plumber up the wall. It was losing pressure over the course of a couple of hours until it only held about 0.3 bar. Plumber came out, couldnt find any leaks anywhere (walls and floors dry, valves etc around all rads...
