Im so thankful for people who make videos about how to fix basic things around the house. My dad used to be really handy, but now he has altzeimers and can't even remember who I am, let alone how to repressurise a boiler. But when my real dad can't be there for me to help with stuff like this, there's always a RUclips dad.
Andrew, please know that 4 years after you posted this video, I just found it and it has saved me with my boiler fault! I’m widowed and moved to small place alone. Your kindness in posting and your carefully explained tutorial has allowed me to fix water pressure myself and stopped me feeling so fearful. Thank you so very much 🙂🙏
Thank you so much for this video - as a senior with disabled husband in freezing house I looked at two videos before yours - you are a natural teacher and because I understood what I was doing I lost the anxiety - we are now in a cosy house without a huge bill - thank you so much
Absolutely the same, except that I am alone after my ill husband’s passing. House and water warm again now, but mostly, I’m not afraid. Bless you, such a good tutor.
What the person below just said, I freaked out when my boiler didn't work and had visions of expensive plumbers and days without heating but your video saved me . Thankyou so much you're a legend.
Thanks for this. I'm rubbish when it comes to this sort of thing. Just moved house, and after only a handful of showers, suddenly it was cold! Managed to watch this video and get the hot water working again! Thanks for your help!
You are an absolute legend!!! Recent single mum & on a bank holiday after just moving into new home with 3 year old and boiling read low pressure. You just saved me so much money and stress. I can’t thank you enough!!! Absolutely saved us!!!
I absolutely LOVE that you refer to the pressure as "system pressure". This is correct, but so many people, including professionals, incorrectly call it "boiler pressure". THANK YOU!
I've just bought a house with the same model of boiler - and it just started displaying the low pressure message. I've fixed it - thanks to your video, which has saved me the cost of calling out an engineer to solve the problem. Many thanks -- well done!!
You are brilliant! Woke up to freezing cold home, this fixed it instantly! Saved me a ridiculous call out fee! Simple instructions, really clear and easy to follow! Thanks!
Thank you thank you thank you! Woke up to get ready to go to hospital for my surgery... F1 error.. the last thing I needed. Found this video straight away and now all sorted! Thank you so much! My partner and mum won't freeze or have to stress while I am away. So grateful to you for making this video!
Mate your a legend just brought a house been in a week and this code came up. Me thinking no we screwed, but watched your video and all is well. Explained everything perfectly step by step. Great video Thank you
Thank you! I've repressurised a boiler plenty before, but I'm house sitting and couldnt figure out where on earth the gauge was on this model. no component diagram or clues in the user manual whatsoever. Folks who make videos such as yourself are such lifesavers 👍
Wowza.. am I super thankful for this video which saved me time and cash… after returning home from a Christmas break to find the boiler not working, this was just perfect and am now back with heat and hot water! Cheers buddy
Just had this fitted today - so a bit of a newbie problem. It’s the LOGIC COMBI c30 - my son helped me with the taps , but thanks to you , it’s all good , and there’s hot water again. Very grateful, thank you.
You just saved a single mum to an autistic child whom in the morning would have been distraught at the idea of no hot water for a shower. My boiler was showing the f1 and my control panel has been awaiting replacement by my landlord for over a year, so we can only have heating for 1 hr at a time. So having the pressure go and no hot water tonight I wondered if that repair would take as long as my panel box. Thanks sooooooooo much for sharing this with the world. My Knight in shining armour!!
This video showed the simple process of fixing a simple problem that could have cost £75 call out charge. Thank you for showing me how to fix this problem which yolk only three minutes!
First time watching your videos. Very clear and easy to understand video. Had an engineer who forgot to fully repressurise my boiler after bleeding the radiators and doing a service check . Won’t be calling him back anytime soon. Thank you so much for this.
I was about to call a plumber out but watched your video first and I’m glad I did! The water pressure rose and my partner even stopped complaining. Thanks very much for sharing.
@@jennifermccann7119 Sorry, only just seen this comment. Yes they can sometimes by stiff. Try taking off the little plastic levers (little screw in the middle of plastic valve) which will expose the brass stem it fits over. Then try using an adjustable spanner to turn it.
Thank you from a renter desperate for a hot shower before work! Hot water fixed in minutes, without having to wake my landlord up at 6am, and a sense of achievement to start my day with. You're a legend 😊
Thanks so much for this video, it worked immediately! We are getting low water pressure about 3 times a week and our landlady will spend fortunes on these boiler engineers who keep coming out and deliberately spend an hour just doing this, probably to get money, and then proceed to blame myself and my boyfriend for the problem. At least we can now fix it ourselves, would be great if she actually investigated the real issue causing this though - hope it's not a leak! Thanks again 👍🏻
Fantastic... so easy to follow and problem solved in less than a minute. My son and his twins will be warm again 👏👏👏 Thanks so much for posting this video.
I have a landlord that never responds and so to have no heating or hot water so close to xmas and potentially another lockdown was a nightmare until this saved my family, we are all now cosy and warm thanks to you. Well played sir, well played. 😘
Thank you VERY much for this video...phew! I've not had to get somebody to come out to do it this morning. That means a lot to folk like me living alone - a life-saver. All working fine again now.
found this extremely helpful good detail. my boiler had different taps to turn but managed it fine my boiler has the F1 fault but currently waiting for parts, this video has saved me waiting on engineers all day for heat, thank you very much
Great video, simply shown and expained, thank you very much, saved the day! The physical manual was utterly useless, making it out to be really complicated, when it couldn't have been any simpler. Why all videos can't be like this I don't know. Brilliant job, thanks!
Thank you so much you saved my life in winter . I got a problem with low pressure and about to call plumber . Plumber availability during covid time is hard as well as expensive. Thanks a lot this video clip helped me a lot . God bless you
Thanks so much Andy just followed your excellent tutorial & have my heating up & running again without the expense x you're a star ⭐ x so cold here in Scarborough today brrrr
Thanks Andrew, that was very helpful. We have the older system the same as the one you used for your demonstration. So, it was 'plain sailing'. I will note the date of when added .6 bar to bring it to 1.5 bar as you recommended and check it again in a weeks time. 😀
You Sir, are an ABSOLUTE LEGEND 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 thank you so much 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 underneath my boiler was hard to access & had two blue taps & a black tap & seemed to have a copper pipe, so I moved the blue tap on my left towards me & could hear the water & the pressure guage was moving, so used your video as a guide & hey prest!! Thank you, thank you, thank you 🙏🏼
Great help, managed to sort mine out without the need of a home visit. Quick question, how often should I get my boiler serviced? Is it really necessary every year?
I have three valves, 2 that are black, and one blue. My valves are also placed slightly different to the one on in the instructions i.e. there is no copper pipe connecting the two valves you have. How do I identify the right one?
Thanks bro...saved my day...me and partner are for day duty and I just turned main Switch off for the boiler...evening when we came back...I tried turning ON the switch but doesnt work...and showing F1 error...and your just saved my day...
Thank you for your amazing video... My Fiancee is now talking to me again... . Video was Very helpful and Clear to understand... Alastair #DigitalMediaScotland
I seem to be the only one it didnt work for,sometimes it does.I switched off the boiler and tried one then both the front right side taps,and water shot out of both sadly,please help urgently thankyou Jace!
This worked a charm, thabk you so much. I had an extra few valves on the pipes with the blue and black switches so it wasnt totally identical, but i managed to get it filled. I suspect they were so i could epty the system, which is probably why i encountered the priblem in the first place! Many thanks again for the no nonsense video.
If the Needle reached 2 Is there any problem? Needle gone beyond 1.5 to 2 then I closed the water Is there any issue? We can not reduce to 1.5 right when it is reached to 2?
Hi Andrew just want to say Huge thank u I have 2 kids daughter 4.5 year old n boy is 1.5 year old my boiler stop working after watching ur video I fixed the boiler my self which was my first time u saved my alots of time I know if I call the the an engineer he wouldn't come straight away n it's a busy time for everyone so big big thanks to u. All the best Andrew n be save.🥲
Moved few months ago and I have the very same boiler fitted 2015(both of my valves on the loop are black coloured though. Does anybody know the span life on those boilers and whether it matters which valve you open first?
Im so thankful for people who make videos about how to fix basic things around the house.

Morning Jem, I am so pleased that you have sorted your boiler. Thank you for taking the time to leave this lovely comment 🙏🙏
@@HomeglowLtd any time, you gave me gold. Thanks once again 👌😊
THANK YOU SO MUCH I’m a 27yo girl with no idea about things like this and no dad who can show me lol so this saved me
My wife didnt trust me to do it. The man came out and did exactly this worked a treat.
That sounds sad man
This video showed the simple process of fixing a simple problem that could have cost £75 call out charge. Thank you for showing me how to fix this problem which yolk only three minutes!
Excellent, ‘retired lady’ managed to do this thanks to you Andy. Saved me £100s and it’s February so the heating is back on.
Glad it helped
Legend!! After a 12 hour night shift in January no heating or hot water was the last thing I needed. Fixed in 10 minutes thanks to you!
This is brilliant news Ian, I am so glad your back up and running.
I did exactly as you said and 5mins later and no penny spent I have heating and hot water. Thank you so much!
Brilliant video used it to fix my in-laws boiler. Has definitely made me the favourite son-in-law now. Thanks!
I usually don’t comment on videos but you were an absolute life saver. Quick and easy to understand ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
First time watching your videos. Very clear and easy to understand video. Had an engineer who forgot to fully repressurise my boiler after bleeding the radiators and doing a service check . Won’t be calling him back anytime soon. Thank you so much for this.

Hi Andrew. I watched your video and followed your instructions and my boiler started to work again. Your amazing. Thanks soo much x
Morning Patricia, that's brilliant news. Really glad the video helped you out and well done for sorting it.
Hi! I have tried to top up the boiler but the plastic valves are too tight and will not budge. Any advice please?

Brilliant.. suddenly my boiler stopped giving me heating and warming water and I followed you. It's amazing all working now. Thanks 👍

Just got home to find a dead boiler due to this issue. I got it up and running by the end of your helpful video👍👍👍

Well played sir, well played. 😘

You are a life saver. Managed to get my boiler working again after being turned off for a while. Thanks a lot mate👍
Absolutely big man.
Thank you so much with a simple explanation, I was about to call a technician but your video saved me.

Great video, simply shown and expained, thank you very much, saved the day! The physical manual was utterly useless, making it out to be really complicated, when it couldn't have been any simpler. Why all videos can't be like this I don't know. Brilliant job, thanks!

Ive got the F1 message on my boiler after bleeding a couple of rads without thinking to turn off boiler
Your video was very useful
Thank you 👍
Thanks Andrew, that was very helpful. We have the older system the same as the one you used for your demonstration. So, it was 'plain sailing'. I will note the date of when added .6 bar to bring it to 1.5 bar as you recommended and check it again in a weeks time. 😀
What a legend! Super easy and simple guide, hot water back on in 7 mins. Thank you
Amazing tutorial easy to understand and has fixed my mums issue. Top man
What a helpful video… can tell it has worked for many. But I can’t seem to turn the blue key! I’ve tried everything!!
You Sir, are an ABSOLUTE LEGEND 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 thank you so much 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 underneath my boiler was hard to access & had two blue taps & a black tap & seemed to have a copper pipe, so I moved the blue tap on my left towards me & could hear the water & the pressure guage was moving, so used your video as a guide & hey prest!!

Great help, managed to sort mine out without the need of a home visit. Quick question, how often should I get my boiler serviced? Is it really necessary every year?

I have three valves, 2 that are black, and one blue. My valves are also placed slightly different to the one on in the instructions i.e. there is no copper pipe connecting the two valves you have. How do I identify the right one?
Very simple and straightforward instructions, even I was able to do this! Thank you so much!
Best video EVER didn't realise I just needed to turn the thing off!! THANK YOU!!
Followed the advice and I got my boiler working again . Thank you 😊
Glad it helped
Thanks just saved me a call out charge. New it was a quick job but couldn’t remember which valves to turn
Thanks Andrew, this was very helpful and worked like a charm. I appreciate the effort and time it takes to create videos like this.
Thank you for this video. I can now return to the living room in triumph.
Nitty-gritty starts at 2:45. Very good but watch to the end as there's a reminder to turn the boiler back on.
i've always had weak lady type wrists and can't even turn those two front spindly taps. I've just tried again and it works! thanks a lot Andrew
Thanks bro...saved my day...me and partner are for day duty and I just turned main Switch off for the boiler...evening when we came back...I tried turning ON the switch but doesnt work...and showing F1 error...and your just saved my day...
