The hot water supply to my en-suite had to be routed via the loft space meaning it goes up from the hot water tank , across the loft and down into the floor cavity before rising to the sink and bath. I have installed a bleed screw to expel air but every few days air collects and the sytem needs bleeding again. The pipe run is below the cold water tank. Any suggestions?

Install a t piece in the pipe in the loft and run a pipe from the t back to vent over the storage tank.
Years ago in long properties they used to stick a secondary vent pipe out through the roof.
But of course im not sugesting you do that

As cider suggests, at the highest point in the horizontal run, but make sure the highest point of this secondary vent is the same height as the existing vent pipe.
