I was hoping you'd be able to help me shed some light on a problem. We've lived in our house for 8 years, in that time the pressure has dropped maybe 5 times and the boiler needed topping up and restarting. Unfortunately the boiler is in the loft, but i'm not fussed about climbing up there. (Sorry I can't seem to hit enter to make another paragraph so this will be one long message). I was made redundant in Nov 2011, tried to find work until Feb 2012, when I couldn't myself and my wife decided to go travelling. We rented out our house and had a guy of about 65 move in. Well my god trouble started, every week the boiler went off, and the guy refused to climb into the loft (which is fair enough) I had parts replaced but still didn't fix the problem. The pressure always seemed to drop at the weekend so a £100 call out. This carried on for ages, after spending over £1000 I got fed up and arranged for a friend to go round to adjust the pressure, well it just miraculously stopped 2 months before he moved out, the moment it wasn't going to cost me money. We've been back in the house for 4 months now and not once has this occurred through really cold weather. I believe this man is vindictive, he called out for everything and made things up. I did notice that the thermostat on the wall was turned up to max when he moved out. Can you purposely make the pressure drop. He was writing a book so was at home 24 x7, could having the stat turned up fully for great periods of time cause the problem? He is now threatening legal action if I don't pay him a huge sum of money because of this issue. Any help appreciated!!
