High DIY-safe £80-150

What to check first

  1. Locate the filling loop (usually a silver braided hose with one or two valves underneath the boiler).
  2. Slowly open the valve(s) to allow mains water into the system until the pressure gauge on the front reads between 1.0 and 1.5 bar.
  3. Close the valve(s) tightly and restart the boiler.

Parts commonly replaced

  • Pressure relief valve
  • Filling loop
  • Pressure sensor
