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  😉

    • He should be. His behaviour has been appalling. Refusing to comply with a Speaker's request to come back to the HoC and explain himself shows utter contempt to parliament and the electorate. If he had any any integrity he would resign. Nothing to do with the prisoner, but all to do with his arrogance and contempt. This Labour party don't have any integrity at all though. We are two weeks away from the Chancellor of the Exchequer breaking a fundamental manifesto commitment. Breaking promises like demeans the entire contract between voters and MPs. If she doesn't resign for breaking those promises (she won't) then all manifesto promises going forward have to also be treated as lies, not worth the paper they are written on.  She should have already resigned herself for the breaking the law over her failure to register as a landlord. They are an absolute disgrace. And whilst all this farce plays out in Downing St where the fuck is the Prime Minister? Nowhere to be seen, unanswerable to the public about this disgraceful shambles.
    • That's a shame. I tried to take my car there for an a/c issue a couple of times this summer but they seemed to be closed on both occasions so I gave up in the end. Hopefully they'll enjoy their retirement proceeds from selling their site to a property developer! The garage in Upland Road (Pitstop) is good for servicing and repairs. Kwik fit in Grove Vale is also good and they do the diagnostics tests too. 
    • It's done while you wait. 🤷‍♂️
    • My issues are pretty clear from my original post. The delays caused by the incompetence of the solicitor/executor, the damage to my late Aunt's property as we now go through the third winter without heating and ventilation, his inability to inform and engage with beneficiaries because he will not use technology around for decades or in the case of the telephone 150 years, which has exacerbated everything, I have some very helpful pieces of advice, including one by PM/DM who had similar experience, so unless the last two posters have constructive things to say I'll leave it there, Cheers.
