The best way to find the pump is to follow the two pipes coming out of the boiler!

The pump will definately be connected to one of them!!!

I always wonder what calibre of people you have had looking at it?

Its most unlikely it would have been fitted as a gravity heating circuit if it was installed after 1959. Does it use steel screwed pipes or copper? Hint only one of these is attracted to a magnet!

Hi we have ascertained the boiler is in the kitchen and the hot water tank is above in an airing cupboard. To the left is a bedroom with a built in wardrobe where two of my neighbours say their pumps are in. We have looked in there and there is no hatch.....is it feasable that they have removed the hatch and put new floorboards in...they seem to go all the way across this built in cupboard.
The only option seems to be on the right of the hot water tank is the bathroom but this has a sealed tile floor

It could be anywhere! Stupidity knows no bounds!

have you looked BEHIND the cylinder ( tank )?

I met one fellow who fitted laminate flooring when he KNEW the pump was under the floor!

Tony, Thankyou for being so helpful, I will look behind the tank when I get home and then see if I can pull one of the floorboards up in the wardrobe in the bedroom. Failing that it looks like we are going to have to get the tiles up in the bathroom.

Be more guided by the neighbours if their systems seem to be similar.

Thanks, I'll let you know how we get on

Hi Tony, Looked in the cupboard under the floorboards but nothing...we think the only place they could be is under the bathroom so we're going to have to pull the flooring up this weekend but thanks for your help

As I said before, follow the pipes from the boiler!
