A guide from Unipol on how tenants can repressurise their boiler and bleed radiators. Visit www.unipol.org.uk for more tips and advice about rented accommodation.
This was really useful, I needed to re-pressurise my boiler, and the installers haven’t told me what to do, this saved me so much time. And I didn’t have to use any of my large collection of swear words once. Hot water again. Lovely.
Thank you so much this really helped! I woke up with no heating or hot water and was about to call the engineer. Thanks to this little tutorial it's working perfectly again big thumbs up!
Just moved into a new flat where the hot water wasn't working and this video sorted it right out! Easy enough even for someone like me who's never tinkered with a boiler in my life! Thank you!!
its should also state that you should close both valves of the filling loop when done and legally you should also remove flexible filling loop pipe (although i don't know a single person that does)
Thank you!! My boiler pressure had been dropping for a couple of months until today it got to 0 and wouldn't heat the shower, just did what you said and it's working perfectly
Can someone help me please. The pressure is now too high! I closed the valve at 1.1 bar but it slowly went up without me noticing. It's now around 2 bar and it keeps going up very slowly even though i closed it
Maybe someone can help me. Cant repressurise my boiler, pressure meter shows 0 and then I open valves there is nothing going on, no sound no nothing...There is additional valve dont know why maybe to check pressure or what, so then I opening it there comes very little stream of water with no pressure. Can someone soggest where is the problem? I live in apartment, could there be somewhere additional valve that closes water or something? Is it possible that some parts get stuck inside boiler? Because I was using it all time and one day I started it and after some time protectors shut out. I can still run it but pressure not increasing and I think after some time all situations will repeat again.
Thanks for the helpful video. I have had to call the plumber last year during the winter time to repressurise the boiler. When the boiler lost pressure this time around I was determined to do it myself. All thanks to your video and now I am having my boiler up and running.
if it continues to pressurise and you are sure the loop is closed, then the loop closure valve(s) have failed and you'll need to get a plumber to replace them

Fabulous, very detailed information
Great thanks so much just avoided calling the landlord about a small tiny problem.
Thanks!
Thanks so much, you have saved me from the wrath of my girlfriend after playing around with the water valves in the house
Thanks a load ... exactly the same boiler as ours .. we have hot water and heating now!
Thank you very useful, boiler wasn't working due to low pressure
Saved me from a big panic - thanks so much :)
Releasing the pressure worked. Thanks
Clear and helpful! Thanks a lot.
Fantastic video!
What happens if you turn the wrong valves, but only for a few seconds?
i wanna know too
Saved us, thank you sir
What if your repressure lever doesn't do anything 😢
Hi dear my black botten on the left hand side is really loose . I am unable to open it . What I need to do for open it...
Thank you, helped me alot. Good demo
Thank you! The only video that helped with our problem :-)
Presumably you need to turn the first tap off as well after repressurising?
Yes
Is it bad that I'm not a student but I still found this really useful?😂
Bloody hell I bled my radiators forgot how to pressurise no hot water heating nmare...Thankyou! Yeah five mins later I was sorted...nice one.
How to reduce the pressure if i accidentally make the pressure too high?
Really helpful!
there is no water going through the loop on my boiler
I have the opposite. Starts off at 1 bar then goes right up to the max 😕
Good tutorial, thank you!
I love you Mm you saved me
Thank you
How to put more water in the boiler
very good
Should the boiler be on or off when you increase the pressure?
I just did it off...makes sense not doing it as it's working ...
So how do you release pressure from the Vokera boiler? Mine is at 2
Open a radiator valve at the top, let some water trickle out, then close valve,check pressure on boiler .

Check this video.that ur opening the right valves.
Also check is it both taps or just hot tap?could be thames water r doing works in ur area n decreased the pressure.their website will tell u
Open both black taps to pressure the boiler up.then close both when done.
Thanks helpful..
thank you so much.. problem solved 😋
This did not help me at all, my boiler has loads of taps and no labels. Cba 😢
Should the first tap stay closed or open?
Kamil Dwojak open when pressurising and closed once ✅
should my yellow valve be at 3.45 or 6.30 position ?
Thanks! I have heating after 13 hours... :)
If I set the water pressure level in 2.2, does it ok....
THANKS SO MUCH

Mine is going to 3 bar even after I close the filling loop! Any feedback please?
if it continues to pressurise and you are sure the loop is closed, then the loop closure valve(s) have failed and you'll need to get a plumber to replace them
Contact your team to set a timer. What's this video for??? 😂😂😂
That radiator is full of sludge hence the colour of water coming out and resulting a loss of pressure.
sludge doesnt loose you pressure, must be a leak on the system
👌, 🙏
It made me explode it😠
Takes so long .. get to the point
thank you
