For Clifton: if the heating is not working in clifton all they have to do is to turn on the pressure valve for 5-10 seconds or until the pressure reach to 1.2-1.5 then they have to turn of back the valve.. They can find the valve under the boiler which located in the toilet next to the main entrance.

Heating in case the water pressure is low: 

How to increase boiler pressure?

Switch off your boiler and allow it to cool.

Double check that both ends of the filling loop are securely attached.

Open both valves to allow cold mains water into the system. ...

Wait for the pressure gauge to read 1.5 bar.

Close both valves, one after the other.

Switch the boiler back on

how we can raise the pressure for the boiler in sheiling?
the valve is in under the boiler but it’s a bit tricky. you might need to remove the cover out to reach it from the bottom of the boiler. Just turn on the valve for seconds then to close it.
