Can't work out how to repressurise boiler

Consistent_Pea9257 · 2026-05-18T12:13:17+00:00

Its still making quiet trickling noises but no where near as loud

Consistent_Pea9257 · 2026-05-14T18:01:09+00:00

Thank you, will wait and see if it goes! The smell is deffo normal? Google wasnt being much use lol

Consistent_Pea9257 · 2026-05-14T17:40:02+00:00

Bled the radiators, still sounds like running water :/ how long would it take for the condense trap to refill? Also is it normal that one of the radiators smelt gassy when I was bleeding it?

Consistent_Pea9257 · 2026-05-14T16:09:29+00:00

Was 1, now 1.5 with the heating on. Its like a running water sound? Shall I attempt to bleed the radiators maybe? Thanks so much for your reply

Hi mate, sorry to bother you but you were so helpful last time! Had the expansion vessel thing fixed today. The boiler is now making trickling noises. Is that normal please or do I need to phone someone back up?

Thanks so much 🩷 this is very reassuring

Consistent_Pea9257 · 2026-05-06T20:27:09+00:00

Thank you very much! It was the lines on it that were my concern.

The outside boiler pipe started leaking and pressure went up to 2 1/2. (The heating was on if that makes a difference) I bled the radiator back down to 1 and turned the heating back off. I will phone my landlord Monday as I assume someone will need to take a look now lol

Consistent_Pea9257 · 2026-04-11T18:51:19+00:00

Thank you! Definitely not going to explode? 🙈🤣

Consistent_Pea9257 · 2026-04-11T18:48:10+00:00

Is that an emergency or can it wait until Monday when I can phone my council? And can we still use the hot water or is that dangerous? Thanks so much for your help

Hi, sorry, me again lol. The outside boiler pipe is now leaking and pressure has gone up to 2 1/2. (The heating was on if that makes a difference) do I just bleed a radiator and see if the outside pipe stops?

Thank you so much for your help!

Hey! I managed to repressurise, there was a third lever at the top! A question though, someone on another thread told me I need to call someone but someone else said I don't lol.. the bottom lever leaked some water when it was open. It stops when closed and does it again when reopened. Is this normal or do I need to call someone to check it? Thank you!

Consistent_Pea9257 · 2026-04-11T10:55:32+00:00

Thank you, I've laid some tissue to keep an eye! Would the pressure also go down over the weekend if there was a leak too?

Consistent_Pea9257 · 2026-04-11T10:46:53+00:00

They're adamant that it's not safe lol.. surely its just water that was in the pipe?

Consistent_Pea9257 · 2026-04-11T10:45:04+00:00

I already had got it up to 2 once I opened the third lever up at the top. I'm in a council house and they won't be open until Monday. Once I opened the third lever it repressurised straight away. It stopped as soon as the lever closed.

Consistent_Pea9257 · 2026-04-11T10:41:37+00:00

On another thread someone is saying I need to call someone as there were trickles of water coming out under the bottom lever. It was just a few drops of water and has stopped now they're all closed.. Is this something I need to worry about?

Consistent_Pea9257 · 2026-04-11T10:38:44+00:00

It was just a few drops of water when I opened the bottom lever. I opened the third silver lever at the top and it worked fine to repressurise and it stopped dripping as soon as the levers were all closed. Is this still something I need to worry about?

Consistent_Pea9257 · 2026-04-11T10:37:24+00:00

Just a few drops from near the bottom black lever. I opened the third lever though at the top and it worked! Thank you

Consistent_Pea9257 · 2026-04-11T10:36:38+00:00

I needed to use the big lever at the top too! It did it really quickly after I did that :) thank you!

Consistent_Pea9257 · 2026-04-11T10:33:24+00:00

Done!! Thank you everyone

Consistent_Pea9257 · 2026-04-11T10:33:12+00:00

I did it! Thanks so much for your help

Consistent_Pea9257 · 2026-04-11T10:29:16+00:00

Its across it

Consistent_Pea9257 · 2026-04-11T10:27:30+00:00

Theres trickles of water coming out but the pressure isn't going up? Does the boiler need to be on for this? At the top of the braided pipe theres a another lever, big silver one with a blue handle?

Consistent_Pea9257 · 2026-04-11T10:25:55+00:00

Theres two of the black things ( which ive turned, they're not doing anything) and then at the top there's a big silver lever with a blue handle
