I recently had a plumber out to sort a leaking radiator valve and during the job he tried to drain the system via the pressure release valve on the boiler but said it wasn't working so ended up bleeding a radiator. The next morning I noticed that the pressure guage was showing 0.5 bar so I presumed that the plumber had forgotten to top up the system completed, so I topped it up to 1bar (when cold). The next morning it was back down to 0.2 bar (cold but the heating had been on inbetween).
I've just had the plumbing company back out again (different plubmer) and they have checked where the plumber repaired the old leak and it was fine, but when I mentioned he'd been messing with the pressure relief valve on the boiler the new guy just said that he shouldn't have done that and they're not qualified to touch it. Obviously I'm not exactly happy with this but my main concern at the moment is getting the system working.
Whilst the plumber was here we topped up the system to 1 bar again and turned the heating on, 20 mins later it's at 3.5 bar. I've just turned off the system as I'm presuming there must be something wrong. Does anyone have any ideas what could be causing this?
