Boiler pressure issue independent c30

My boiler is about 6 months out of warranty been serviced every year but have an issue.
Yesterday I noticed the pressure was low so opened the taps to re-pressurise but it didn’t make the noise like it is filling up and the pressure gauge was still at zero then I resettled boiler and it went back to normal
Then checked it again yesterday and it was at zero again and tried again to re-pressurise but still no joy
Tried to reset again but no joy.
Is it something I’m doing wrong or is it a fault with boiler and I need a plumber.
Everything seems to be going wrong at moment

Are you handy at all?
I would personally disconnect the filling loop hose and open the cold tap into a bucket to see if any water comes out. If it does but you still can't fill the heating system the other filling tap may of failed in the closed position.0 -

Not too bad.
Which end do you diconnect and when you say open cold tap do you mean on sink ?
Sorry if stupid question0 -
No sorry, just disconnect the filling hose from either end and open the filling tap into a bucket/bowl (the tap you'd open to fill the system)0
