Hi my name is ***** ***** lets see if we can get you sorted in the shortest possible time.
It may be a silver braided silver flexible pipe on the pipework below, or you may have to look under the boiler and up and look for a blue knob or two black levers

Hi There is single flexible pipe [quite broad with a grey plastic concertina type casing]

Plumber: Andrew Smith, Engineer replied 8 years ago

That sounds like the condense.
Can you upload a couple of pictures of the pipework underneath and a shot of the underneath of the boiler?

Customer reply replied 8 years ago

Customer reply replied 8 years ago

sorry could not find a way of adding text to uploaded photos ! Hope these show the pipe lay out clearly enough.

Thanks

Plumber: Andrew Smith, Engineer replied 8 years ago

It's hiding!
Do you have a pressure gauge near your cylinder?

Customer reply replied 8 years ago

Thanks !

What would a pressure gauge look like ?

I can see a bright red knob near cylinder which has a dial at top but looks like setting is fixed rather than a gauge

Plumber: Andrew Smith, Engineer replied 8 years ago

Is there a gauge around this valve?
It sounds like a PRV which is a discharge valve - usually near the fill point.
Is there a silver flexible pipe also?
Can you attach a photo is this pipework?

Customer reply replied 8 years ago

Thanks, ***** ***** a photo of the 'red knob' next to cylinder. I cannot see any silver flexible pipe at all, red knob with dial on near cylinder

Plumber: Andrew Smith, Engineer replied 8 years ago

ok, that is an automatic bypass valve, it lets water recirculate if all the TRV's shut.We are looking for something like this;http://www.screwfix.com/p/combi-straight-filling-loop/46605

Customer reply replied 8 years ago

Your link to a picture of relevant pipe is really clear and helpful but there is nothing ;like this near my cylinder or near my boiler. Happily after umpteen resets my heating is now back up and running and the house is now warmer. I will call someone to come around to assist in finding the underlying problem.

Many thanks for your assistance to day.
