I have a leak

Posted by Dawn Stokes, on
I have gravity central heating and when left for more than 3 days without using any water in the house the tank overflows, how can I stop this?

Hi Dawn, It sounds as if the inlet valve in the tank is not closing fully when it should, this leads to overfill and overflow outside (hopefully). You will need the valve to be changed over, it should cost you in the region of £45 to £55 to do the part is less than £10.00.
