High DIY-safe £0-120

What to check first

  1. Locate the filling loop (usually a silver flexible hose) underneath or near the boiler.
  2. Slowly open the one or two taps on the filling loop until you hear water flowing.

  2. Bleed all radiators to remove trapped air

  2. Switch the power off completely and wait for at least 30 seconds.
  3. Switch the power back on to clear the temporary lock and allow the boiler to restart.

Parts commonly replaced
