Hi mate the pressure has dropped in my boiler had the housing out a few times anyway they said theres a leak so plumber is coming out on monday with joiner to pull up floorboards and see where the leak is not had heating for 3days not ideal with a newborn.hopefully it can get sorted quickly
Nice to see you back 👍
Always nice to Hear from you mate 🙏🙏 Hope you’re well
Very clever!
Cheers 🙏🙏
Is this where you've been all all this time? Locked in that house!
Great video, i personally, after doing the boiler check, would have drained the system and then stuck the compressor on just to try and hear any leaks first. Cracking job though.
Thanks for your input.. prob I find is u can never hear a leak unless it’s so bad u already know where it is ⚠️ Thanks for stopping by , see you on the next one 🙏🙏
@drpipe I have to admit, my hearing isn't what it used to be 😂😂😂
Good video! I have a question if you don’t mind. I have a sealed central heating system and the pressure on the combo boiler gauge drops slowly over time. I estimate it to be 0.1 bar per month. 4 bed detached house about 15 medium rads.
Happened last winter also however in summer months with no heating on the pressure held around 1 bar consistently for the 7 months or so.
Most radiators are about 20 years old some with minor rust.
I wonder what the cause of the leak is and if some leak sealant is the way to go ??

You can not rely on a gate valve to making a perfect seal
I have same issue, where are you based?
West London
do you also do vasectomies
🤣🤣🤣 U asking for a friend 🤣🤣🤣
@@drpipe hahaha great to see you back doc
It’s not going to be upstairs is it you’d see it coming through the ceiling 😂 also why you’ve cut and put them valves in it’s obvious it’s under concrete somewhere in ground floor if no rads are leaking it’s under the floor if upstairs ceiling hasn’t caved in it’s under the floor 😂
If you watched the video you would have seen your incorrect 🤣🤣🤣
Awesome work thanks for your efforts and sharing your experience
Thanks so much pleasure mate 🙏
Thanks Doc. A good comprehensive guide there!! Eh, it was good to see you’d written your Day Rate on the Post It Note stuck on the gauge, I’m sure the customer would’ve got a bit of a shock, but coughed up for a professional job!!
Pass on my luv to your good lady ❤️❤️❤️😙😙 tell her I’ll see her in the Tesco Car Park as usual on Friday👍👍
Regards Dick Puller.
I thought you might have noticed that 🤣🤣🤣 That was the callout 🤣🤣🤣
@@drpipe Great having you back Doc👍👍
Ive drained a system off before and pumped my gas bottle down into the pipework blanked it, left it 10 mins and went round with my sniffer on a particularly hard to find leak and that worked out
Horses for courses ain’t it.. sometimes… we just need it to be 💯 🙏🙏 what gas you using propane 🤣
@@drpipe could have been butane, maybe .... 😂
Or also have used a thermal imagining camera and looked for hot spots in the floor where pipework has been in concrete and found them that way
Doesn’t work on voids tho ⚠️
