Hi all, hope that someone can advise or point me in the right direction.
Recently (in the last week), we've noticed that the flow of hot water to a downstairs tap (in the kitchen) has been greatly reduced, and last night, it became non-existent. The hot water tap in the bathroom where the combi boiler sits is fine, as is the hot water tap in the en-suite, which is upstairs from the combi.
I had a look last night, and there are no obvious leaks, but that doesn't mean there aren't any. I've found that if I put the central heating on for a while, and run another hot tap, then some flow of water returns for a short while.
There are no reported issues with the boiler (ie no warning lights), and as my plumbing and heating experience goes as far as turning a tap on, I think it's time to call in a professional.
In the mean time, do the symptoms suggest an obvious answer?
Boiler info:
Baxi Potterton Main combi 30HE
Fitted brand new around 3.5 years ago.
Located downstairs
Not serviced since install (I know, I know.....)
Thanks in advance everyone
