Hi Gremlin,

You need a manometer (weir gauge, water gauge) or to be able to do a gas rate of your appliances to test accurately, but as a rule, if you turn on every cooker ring, and the gas fire, then watch one or the other when you turn on the heating, as the boiler fires you will see and hear a slight adjustment in the flame, if it quickly returns to as was before you fired the boiler, should be ok, if not, or your not sure, turn the boiler off again and if the flames suddenly become higher on the fire or the cooker then you have a pressure or pipework problem, thanks for asking, I hope this helps.
