VerifiedHi my name is XXXXX XXXXX lets see if we can get you sorted in the shortest possible time. If you want to turn the pressure back up then you will have to find the cause; 1. Loose jumper on the main stoptap, 2. Additional pipework that is loose and touching, 3. Long runs of pipework that is unclipped. Let me know if you have any of these in your house and I will get this resolved. Andrew
If you click accept now then if you have a problem again then try this; andrew @ skillscenter . info - if you take all the gaps out it should work, but if I leave the spaces in it will get blanked out
