    Plumber did not fix the pressure problem but has hopefully pin pointed where & what the problem is.
    Lodger here another couple of weeks.

    Sorry to hear about your plumbing (sounds rude sorry).

    I feel your pain as we recently had a plumber again and again, got different parts etc never worked and eventually he called an electrician and it was the way the heating was wired nothing to do with the pumps etc! It's good that yours has got to the bottom of the problem now. Fingers crossed its a quick cheap fix!
