Any plumbers about or anyone who knows anything about plumbing/heating systems??!

A long shot I know but I'm desperate.

We've had 5 separate plumbers/heating engineers come and look at our heating system which is continuously losing pressure. The last people stayed all day, said there was a problem with the valves and there definitely wasn't a leak anywhere. Changed the valves, the heating was much more efficient. Over the weekend the pressure dropped to nothing again. The heating engineers are saying there is nothing else they can do.

I don't suppose anyone has had anything like this??

Ours kept doing this and plumber said it was a part in it thats like a little balloon that needed pumping up, apparently they can be pumped up but eventually need replacing, he replaced ours and all is well.

Boiler has been serviced and all is good.

I’ve had the same experience with a heating system that kept losing pressure, and it was really frustrating. In situations like this, even when the boiler is serviced and valves are replaced, sometimes the issue lies in a less obvious component. Having a thorough inspection can make a big difference, for example, services like www.mesa-plumbing.com/ can check the system carefully and identify any underlying problems. It’s often the small, hidden issues that cause persistent pressure drops, so a detailed assessment can save a lot of repeated visits.
