Hi
I wonder if anyone can help me .
Our old combi boiler was replaced in December because the water
jacket
was leaking & could not be repaired [ Grant Boiler], soon after
fitting the pressure dropped again, Engineers came & found a small
leak.


One again the pressure is dropping, i am now told itmust be a leak in
the house, probably under the floor boards & nothing to do with
them .
The problem did not exist before the new boiler was fitted


On top of that i have now also had an account for commissioning the
boiler, this was not done at the time of fitting.


Could i question why a separate expensive trip was required for this,
Thanks
Wally


Take a look at the SealedCH FAQ.

As for the companies pricing structure... on what basis did you engage
them.

Hi Ed

Thanks for your reply,

on what basis did you engage them.

To fit a new boiler i am not complaining about there fees as such,
only i had a separate fee to pay when they came back to commission the
boiler , i wondered why this could not be done at the time it was
installed , not about 3 weeks later

They have called again to day, been under the floor boards, as far as
they could , but cannot see a leak
Yet the system, lost 4 bar over 2 nights, which means if it had been
set it at 1 , it would be nearly empty, i has now been set at 2 bar

They have doubled checked the boiler, found no leak except a very
small drip, they have now put a sealent into the system to stop any
leaks. Hopefully
I will do as you suggested & check out Take a look at the SealedCH
FAQ.
Thank you so much for taking the time to reply to my question

What a wonderful site, nice to see people take time to help others
Regards
Wally
