I think they start at about 1.3 bar it would probably be best to get a professional to look at the state of your joints to say whether or not you should go higher than that
 
Don't ave facility to measure the pressure what would be the typical pressure from a loft tank..

Not sure if I could raise the tank, or how much I would need to raise it to get a reasonable increase in pressure..

Thanks again

The higher you raise the tank the more pressure you will get ... for each metre you will get an extra 0.1bar pressure ...
Increasing the height of the tank is fairly easy...but you need to make sure the entire base is supported.
