Another indication that your boiler or system may have a leak is that you are continually losing water pressure. You can repressurise your system yourself by opening the filling loop taps on your boiler until you achieve the desired pressure. You can find more information about this in the manufacturer’s handbook that came with your boiler. If your boiler is consistently losing pressure then it is likely you have a leak and you should have it looked at by a registered Gas Safe heating engineer London.
More complex leaks in larger homes may mean the engineer needs to drain down the property which may take two to three hours. Add on the time to fix the leak as well and it could cost around £270 pounds. The worst-case scenario would be if a component is leaking from within the boiler itself, for example, if the heat exchanger is leaking. The engineer would then have to cost up the price of the heat exchanger plus up to four hours of labour. That would be £360 plus the cost of the part as dictated by the manufacturer.
