Boiler losing pressure in Tipton? We find where the water is going rather than topping it up and leaving. Great Bridge, Princes End, Ocker Hill and Dudley Port.
If the small copper pipe through the wall is dripping or stained, the vessel or the relief valve has gone and the water never got anywhere near your floor. That is the good version and it is a same-visit fix.
Much of the post-war stock off Ocker Hill and Dudley Port was laid with the heating pipes buried in the screed. A leak there shows as one warm patch in a cold hallway, and it gets traced rather than guessed at before anything comes up.
Isolating the boiler from the system for an hour tells you which side is losing water. Ten minutes of work that stops the argument about whether it is the boiler or the pipes.
Every top-up brings fresh oxygenated water into a sealed system, which is how you get sludge and a failed pump eighteen months later. We would rather find it once.
Once or twice a year after a service or a radiator bleed is normal. Once a month means there is a leak somewhere and it is worth finding before it takes a pump or a floor with it.
Pressure rising and falling with temperature is the system doing what it should. It is only a fault when the cold reading is lower this week than it was last week.
Usually not. Most Tipton leaks turn up at a valve, a joint in the airing cupboard or the expansion vessel, all of which are reachable. Buried pipe is the last thing we look at, not the first.
