Open both taps (valves). This will increase the water pressure. When the water flow ceases to increase pressure, turn off both taps and unscrew from the heating return (you will get some drips from the hose so place a cloth/newspaper underneath). The gauge should be minimum 1.5 bar. I have to do this on a regular basis in the winter (central heating). It is important though that you disconnect the hose each time you bring to pressure.

I had to turn my taps to increase the water pressure. Couldn't find these taps anywhere, so ended up calling the engineer... only for him to simply remove the wooden skirting which was concealing the pipes, and Lo! there were the taps!! there are two taps, but it’s possible that they might be obscured by the cornicing or hoarding that covers the pipes… I had to turn my taps to increase the water pressure.

Whatever tyou did with the pipes - i think you should put them back how they were. Mine has a black tap that you turn and the water pressure dial goes up.
