Water leak somewhere, probably in the pipework downstairs.
Quite common when a system is converted from open vent to sealed.

If it is a sealed system (?) and there was a leak the pressure would go down. The OP hasn't mentioned this ? OP, are you sure its a sealed system ? Thats why i mentioned the gauge in an earlier post. If you are sure, are you topping it up only after you bleed the rads or do you need to top it up without bleeding them ?
Hi thanks for the replies.
The pressure gauge is next to the expansion tank which is positioned on the floor under the wall mounted boiler.
Yes I said to the installer recently it's approaching time where we might need to get an independent third party plumber to take a look which clearly we would not be paying for.
The rads were fine previously, very occasional bleeding but nothing like where have to bleed daily or else the top quarter of the rad is cold and full of air.

Hi,
Sorry I missed a couple of questions earlier.
I have spoken to the plumber this morning and he confirmed it is indeed a pressurised sealed system.
He is going to come round later this week and also get the bioler manufacturer to come and visit to check the boiler is not the cause.
If there's interest I'll post an update later.
Thanks all.
