I hadn't seen your earlier post when I posted, the one that said;
".... so he turned one of the valves underneath the boiler to increase the pressure in the system.
Well,he didn't turn the valve back and left it like that, hence the water dripping from a pipe outside , and the needle showing the pressure was as far as it could go (past the red) - wasn't aware of this, was my mum that was here this afternoon. "
That was the mains fill valve he opened.
Vaillant boiler, by any chance?
Corgi registered means gas, it gives no guarantee of competence in heating. But everyone does the odd Fubar. Some do more than others.
