Taps running well this morning to cover shower with hot water. Put on heating to see if that was affected when we could not get hot water.

Hubby cannot find instruction booklet for the Valiant boiler to show boiler pressure.!

Cannot get hold of our usual heating contractor- have been trying all week to book a maintenance visit.

Not being funny, but if you Google the manual, make sure you spell it correctly - it's Vaillant! 

Also, a boiler maintenance person might be willing to tell you over the phone how to adjust the pressure, especially if you have used him/her  before.

It's usually quite simple provided he also tells you what the pressure should be!

I can recommend Tommy Rooney

If it is a combi there is a 'filling loop' essentially attached to your mains water to repressurise your system.  Off the top of my head it is about two bar, which in old money is about half the pressure in car tyres.  You would either turn a tap or a slotted valve to repressurise, drop in pressure is fairly common, but turn it off at the end or else your boiler will be over pressured!

(It's Which? so trustworthy)

That's £60 to me for your call out  😉

    • I completely agree with you, Angelina. But it's worth noting that no one else has a problem with her, or finds her rude /  has mentioned her aggressively banging gates / ringing doorbells etc. 
    • But I don't think that was what you meant, was it? But he can hardly be held responsible for what somebody else did! Just discovered I forgot to post the above  last night, and now it's overtaken by long posts.  I don't have sufficient knowledge  to counter some of what has been said above, some of which appears to be opinion rather than facts, so it would be pointless for me to say anything else.
    • I am sure our lovely Evri delivery team, who do a firkin hard job, take the time between drops to read the East Dulwich Forum 🤫
    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
