Where Boiler Pressure Goes in Yardley
Afterglow Plumbing & Heating Limited, a family run plumbing and heating firm based in Sheldon, Birmingham, covers boiler repairs in Yardley and across Birmingham and Solihull. Boiler pressure that keeps falling means water is leaving the system, usually at a radiator valve, the relief valve or a flat expansion vessel.
Why does boiler pressure keep dropping?
Most combi boilers want roughly 1 to 1.5 bar when the system is cold. If it keeps falling, water is leaving the system somewhere: a radiator valve, the relief valve outlet, or a failed expansion vessel.
The filling loop will restore pressure for now, but it treats the symptom only. Check the small copper pipe outside, near the boiler; if it drips, the relief valve is letting go.
Is it worth replacing a 20 year old boiler?
Usually, yes. A boiler that age is far less efficient than a modern condensing one, and parts get harder to find each year. Quotes from Afterglow Plumbing & Heating Limited are free and carry no obligation, and a new boiler can be spread over up to 2 years interest free.
How often does a landlord need a CP12?
A landlord must have every gas appliance, fitting and flue checked by a Gas Safe registered engineer every 12 months. A copy goes to the tenant within 28 days, and to any new tenant before they arrive. Two years is the minimum for keeping the records.
Landlord gas safety certificates across Birmingham and Solihull are Afterglow Plumbing & Heating Limited work. The certificate and a service are different jobs, and doing both together protects the warranty.
How to find a reliable plumber in the UK?
Ask for recommendations, check reviews, confirm insurance, and use the Gas Safe Register for anything involving gas. Reliability shows in a clear quote up landlord gas safety certificate in Edgbaston front and a guarantee at the end.
