The plumbing fault
The boiler was not the underlying cause. Investigation traced the pressure loss to a slowly weeping John Guest Speedfit elbow within the heating pipework.

Heating pressure loss and hidden pipe leak repaired in Wigston
A Wigston customer reported that the boiler repeatedly lost pressure and a small damp patch had appeared on the ceiling.
What AFS did
Diagnosis and repair
AFS accessed the affected area, replaced the leaking elbow fittings and checked the repaired connections before restoring the system.
Useful guidance
What to watch for
Slow leaks on a sealed heating system can cause repeated pressure loss long before a large amount of water becomes visible. Finding the pipework fault avoids unnecessary replacement of serviceable boiler components.
