Please help

Our Grant Vortex Pro oil combi boiler seems to have developed a drip from some sort of valve where it looks like there's a limescale build up. There is no water at all from hot tap and no pressure in the boiler. The heating works fine however.

Is there something I can do or should I call a pro?

Ideally new pump valve they can be sort of interesting to do due to lack of movement.
If you can undo valve top and remove remains of fiber washer I've wound a few turns of loctite 55 in then nipped up successfully.
 
If it was frozen quite likely the valve has split best to change them both out
 
Where it’s leaking from the brass valve on the pump on top one bottom of the pump
 
To be fair at one point Grant did have a bad batch of pump valves that leaked for fun fibre washer fell to bits!
Rep dropped of 2 full boxes of pump valves made some decent money changing them.

Hello, I am seeking some advice, I have a POTTERTON PROMAX 28 COMBI Boiler and I noticed yesterday that the water around the house is no longer warming up. The heat exchanger has been changed 6 months ago, so I do not believe it is that. Does anyone have any ideas on what it could be? Thanks

Our kitchen mixer tap has started dripping. Like so much of the plumbing in our almost new build bungalow, it is lacking! The plumber didn't install any isolating cocks in the H&C feed to the tap so how can I identify which of the valves is passing? Shut the whole H&C water system down?

Hello all, I'm would like to extend an existing outside tap to another point in the garden. I'm about to pour a concrete patio and was hoping to run the water line underneath. There are existing drain (and who knows what) pipes running along the same wall so I'm nervous about digging too far...
