Once you're happy, they carry out the repair and test the boiler again. Your engineer can also answer any questions about your heating.
Most boilers run at a pressure between 1 and 1.5 bar. If the gauge drops below 1 bar, the boiler may stop working. You can usually top it up using the filling loop, as your manual explains.
If the pressure keeps falling, water is escaping somewhere. It could be a radiator valve, a joint in the pipework or a part inside the boiler. Anything inside the casing is a job for a Gas Safe engineer in Clacton-on-Sea.
Look for drips under the boiler, damp patches or rust marks on pipes. A leak doesn't always show, so a boiler that needs topping up every few days usually has one. Small leaks are easier to fix when they are found early.
Bleeding a radiator also lowers the pressure. Check the gauge after you bleed each one. If it has dropped, top the system back up.
Pressure that is too high can cause problems too. If the needle sits in the red zone, turn the boiler off and get it checked. The pressure relief valve may also let water out through a small pipe outside.
After a top-up, keep an eye on the gauge for a few days. If it stays steady, the cause may have been air in the radiators. If it falls again, there is likely to be a leak.
A quick look at the pressure gauge is a good first step for most faults. If the reading is normal, the cause is likely to be elsewhere. If there's ever a smell of gas, the National Gas Emergency number is 0800 111 999.

Yes, servicing is part of what we do. A boiler service in Clacton-on-Sea keeps your boiler running safely and efficiently. The engineer inspects the main parts, checks for leaks and tests the flame and gas pressure. A yearly service can spot problems early, before they become costly repairs.
A repair is normally the cheaper option. Most boilers can be repaired, though parts are easiest to find for models under about six years old. If your boiler is over 10 years old and needs repeated repairs, it may be time to compare the cost of a new one.
