Hiya - we noticed our boiler was on 0 bar so the gentleman who came to fit a smart meter said to repressurise it and not to leave it.
I googled it and left it on the green triangle (while the boiler was not in use)
The heating has come on this morning and we noticed it's at 3 bars but there's water coming out of a pipe on the side of the house
I have turned it off straight away and it's slowly losing pressure and it's going back down to green.

How do I fix it please? At the moment we have no heating as I'm scared to turn it back on.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated! 😊

Did you leave the filling loop open ?
 
Hi I closed them both at the same time, it's gone down to 1.5 bar now with the boiler off. I have attached some pictures of the pipework :)
Thank you

I suspect an expansion issue then time to call a gas safe engineer sorry to say
 
You can drain via a bleed screw and a cooking pan / container etc
 
if you can take out a good pan or two out, then turn your heating down to 50 it shouldn"t go in to 3bar all being well and at lest you will have some heat in the house.
