check your safety discharge pipe outside - could be dripping

Ah on that point there was a pipe outside but my builder said it looked horrible on the wall outside and removed it to be inside and he connected it somehow to a pipe inside ...

That is probably your problem , if it is the pressure relief valve that is dripping that is where your boiler pressure is going

Would I see that dropping ? From the pipe or anywhere near boiler .. I will have a look tokorow and see if there are signs

I presume you mean dripping? Looking back through the thread, and your pics, looks like your discharge pipe still terminates externally. I’ve reattached your photo, edited. The circled part in red should terminate outside - it’s only a year old, it could debris be in the system or too much pressure may have activated it and not shut off correctly. Your builder I suspect has terminated the white condensate pie on the left internally.

you would have to undo the outlet of the valve and watch to see if it drips

hey guys thanks so much, i used the sealing ring on both parts, the nut against the wall and the black circle nut screw.

the filter was suprisingly clean and i just empited the water from this and retightned.

all seems to be fine and no leak

only issue i have is the water pressure still goes into the red on the boiler. i did refill to 1.5 but when i put on the heating for the RADS it does seem to reduce.

the main thing for now is

*no leak
*radiators are warming up
*i have hot water

there is nothing else i need to do with the filter area right, not sure what the screw section is onto of the filter. the screw head fits a flat head screwdriver to turn....

thanks again

Where did you obtain the sealing rings. I have the same problem and would appreciate your recommendations ASAP to purchase these seal rings.
