What to check first
- Locate a radiator in your home, preferably one upstairs.
- Place a cloth and a bowl under the radiator bleed valve.
- Use a radiator key to open the valve slightly until water comes out, then close it once the pressure gauge on the boiler drops back to the 'green' zone (usually 1.0 to 1.5 bar).
