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  😉

    • They are. We are back to the same construction racket 8am-8pm every day for the whole of this week. The wall is one of the last things to come down, probably on Saturday. Then we can see how much of a mess they've made, especially the quantity of non-biodegradeable litter trampled into the earth. GALA 2025 - Production Schedule.pdf
    • The irony of the name of this festival...
    • @Rockets be a sweety and stop using the large font, it's annoying and I expect most can comprehend. Still not sure how this festival affects you.  Or is it a case that you just like taking on causes 
    • It is intimidating looking through the book sections now.  I sometimes wonder if they're stocking bookshops' remainders. OTOH, when I put  some books out in a cardboard box for taking, it was  encouraging to see that a fair proportion of those taken were aged hardbacks.
