there is no access to the pips under the boiler. can i fiil water in to the upstairs radiators. as i said there is no water coming out when i unscrew the valves, so i can fill up the radiators.

Karimi,

If your house is new and less than two years old, is it still covered under the builders warranty? I had a problem with my heating, and Miller Homes came out and repaired it even after 18months. It might be worth checking that - I think it's part of the NHBC warranty, but i don't know if the warranty is different from different builders.

Worth a go...

It won't do much good as the boiler needs to be pressurised upto about 1-1.5 bar anyway.

I don't understand why your guage shows a small pressure ????
It might be faulty.

You have to find this filling loop even if it means moving cupboards out of the way. Topping up the system is a normal procedure that needs to done regularly.

Basically, what you are looking for is a connection between the cold water pipe and the flow or return pipes and this has a tap on it.

pm me with your e-mail address and I'll send over a photo of what you should look out for.
