Accessible filling loop valves

[peter lanky]

My daughter has a combi boiler (Procombi 85HE) that slowly loses pressure over time. Unfortunately access to the filling loop valves is behind wooden 'boxing' which necessitates the front being unscrewed to access it. Easy for me but then I'm 50 miles away. Is there a way to have access to the valves outside the box so they can easily be reached?

Is this her own/your house or rented?

Fix the leak
Put hinges on the door.
Magnetic catches;

Fit one of these, or whatever size is required;

I own the house and she lives in it.

The item from Screwfix looks like the ideal option

Maybe a proper boiler service will fix your issue as it could be a couple things need a bit of TLC

I'm hoping that this will be the case. Of course I still have the current problem of identifying a tradesman to carry out the service, when recent experience in all trades when I have requested a quote is to completely ignore my request. My luck with securing the services of tradesmen has got to improve at some stage, so let's hope this happens now. I have 2 requests pending at the moment.

I have put a request on the "I'm looking for a Plumber or Gas Engineer" forum for a tradesman to quote for a boiler repair, and I have also emailed two supposedly well rated tradesmen advertising on Yell. and the response has been 'zilch'.

Either I am extremely unlucky or there is a serious problem in many trades regarding communication with potential customers.
