Low Boiler Pressure? Expert Fixes in the North East
Our Gas Safe engineers quickly find and fix the cause of low pressure in your central heating system across NE, SR, DH, TS & DL areas.
Is your boiler pressure gauge consistently showing a reading below 1 bar, or has your system stopped working? Low water pressure is a common boiler problem that can prevent your central heating and hot water from functioning correctly. This issue can stem from various causes, including water leaks in the system (pipes, radiators, or the boiler itself), recently bled radiators, or problems with the pressure relief valve or filling loop. The experienced Gas Safe registered engineers at Preferred Gas specialise in diagnosing and resolving low boiler pressure problems. We'll find the source of the pressure loss, repair any leaks, repressurise your system correctly, and ensure your boiler is operating safely and efficiently. Don't ignore low boiler pressure, as it can lead to further damage; contact us today for a swift and reliable fix.

Experiencing low boiler pressure in NE, SR, DH, TS, or DL postcodes? Preferred Gas offers a prompt and reliable service to find the cause and fix your boiler pressure problems quickly, ensuring your central heating is working efficiently.
Professional Leak Detection and Repair
Once we find the source of the low pressure – whether it's a weep from a radiator valve, a joint in a pipe, or a boiler component – we can carry out the necessary repair. Fixing the leak correctly, followed by repressurising the system safely and checking the boiler pressure gauge, ensures your heating system holds its pressure as it should. This not only gets your heating and hot water back on track but also protects your boiler and pipes from further damage.

Finding the Leak: Where an Expert Engineer Comes In
Locating a small leak in a complex network of pipes hidden under floors or behind walls can be tricky, even for a seasoned DIYer. Our Gas Safe registered engineers are experienced in diagnosing these issues. We have the tools and knowledge to carefully check your entire central heating system – from the boiler itself, along the pipes, to every radiator – to pinpoint exactly where the water is escaping. Finding and fixing the leak properly is crucial for a lasting solution.
When Re-Pressurising Isn't Enough: The Underlying Leak
If you find you have to keep repressurising your boiler system week after week, or even more often, this strongly suggests there's an ongoing leak somewhere. Adding water repeatedly without fixing the leak means you're constantly introducing fresh, uninhibited water into the system. This can lead to corrosion and further problems down the line, causing more significant damage to your pipes, radiators, or boiler components over time. You need to find the cause of the leak.
Your Boiler's Filling Loop: A Temporary Fix
Most modern boilers have a filling loop – often a silver flexible hose or integrated levers underneath. This allows you to manually add more water to the system and temporarily increase the pressure back up to the correct level (usually 1-1.5 bar when cold). There are plenty of guides online showing you how to do this safely, but it's important to remember this is often just a temporary measure.
Understanding the Causes: Why Does Pressure Drop?
So, what causes this drop in pressure? The most frequent reason is a small leak somewhere in your central heating system. This could be from pipes, radiators, or even the boiler itself. Every drop of water lost means a drop in pressure. Another common cause is simply losing pressure over time, especially after bleeding radiators. If you've recently let air out of your radiators to improve their performance, you might need to top up the system pressure slightly.
How We Fix Low Boiler Pressure:
- Expert diagnosis to identify the precise cause of low boiler pressure (e.g., leaks, faulty components).
- Comprehensive leak detection across your boiler, radiators, and pipework.
- Professional boiler system repressurisation and filling loop checks.
- Repair or replacement of faulty parts, such as pressure relief valves (PRV) or expansion vessels.
- Checks on radiator valves and bleeding radiators if air is contributing to pressure problems.
- Gas Safe registered engineers ensuring all repairs are safe and compliant.
- Advice on maintaining correct boiler pressure and preventing future issues.

Recognising the Signs of Low Boiler Pressure
How do you know if low pressure is the culprit? The most obvious sign is the pressure gauge on the front of your boiler – it should typically sit between 1 and 1.5 bar when the system is cold. If it's consistently dropping below 1, you've got low pressure. Other tell-tale signs include radiators that are only getting lukewarm, especially at the top, error codes appearing on your boiler display panel, or the boiler shutting down completely. Don't ignore these warnings; low pressure can cause damage over time.
