Hi there.
Our central heating has developed a slow-ish leak. I've had to top it up about three times since Christmas. It needs about a second or two of filling every two to three weeks. I've checked all the radiators etc and can't see anything obvious, so I'm assuming it's either under the floor or something in the boiler. I've checked the PRV outlet pipe and judging by the spiders webs it's not that.
After a bit of googling I've come across a few companies who appear to specialise in leak finding and fixing. Most of them seem to be national firms that advertise heavily. Does anyone have any recommendations/warnings about these services? Do they actually do anything that a normal plumber whouldn't do, is their equipment something that most plumbers don't have?
I'm weighing up whether to use one of these services, find a local plumber, or talk to a property maintenance company (since there's a good change it might require things like tiles replacing once fixed if it's the underfloor at fault).
Any suggestions or guidance would be really appreciated.
