I guess its that time of year but yesterday I had no hot water - turned the heating on and it did not come on straight away when it did all was ok
Now the same thing happened today so I am thinking is this a pressure issue?

Thanks in anticipation

Just a possibility. Over the summer, the heating is not being used. When it is turned on in the Autumn, the diverter valve can simply be stuck through lack of use. It diverts water to either CH or HW as required. It usually sorts itself out. See how it goes for the next few days.

Not be a pressure fault,they switch off if pressure drops.Bleed all radiators then check pressure,then switch on,bleeding drops the pressure.

Well the only answer I can truly give you at the moment is I have not changed anything on the boiler at all for over six months
Is that any use?
To be honest I pay £?? per month to have it service so it might be that I need to call them in - I just wondered if it was something I could do myself
