Evening all, really hope someone can give a bit of advice. Basically, my logic combi boiler (6 years old) has always been absolutely fine, hardly ever needs me to repressurise it to 1.5 bar.
A couple of days ago I had a radiator removed because I've got damp in my house and the contractor needed the radiator off before they could do the work.
The plumber said I might need to repressurise the system, which I did. Now, however, the boiler loses pressure within 24 hours and I keep needing to add pressure into it in order to get the boiler to work. Like I say, this has hardly ever happened before and I'm a bit anxious about it given that I've got a young child living with me.
The other issue is that, on the rare occasions where I have had to repressurise, I've always opened the valves and its gone as high as I want. For some reason now, whenever I open the valves, a bit of water gets in and the boiler says its ready to work but, with pressure still under 1 bar, the water stops going in. I've tried closing the valves and reopening but it still doesn't have any water coming in. When I next repressure (24 hours later) it lets a bit of water in again, but once more I can't get it to 1.5 bar.
Very confused because I didn't think simply removing one radiator could cause so many problems! Any likely quick fixes will be appreciated because I won't be able to get the plumber back for a couple of weeks until the work is done and I've plastered / painted the wall.
Thanks for any help or advice
