Re pressuring boiler - filling loop has no valves?
After an hour of random googling I m still not sure which valve to turn. I basically have no idea what I m talking about so bear with me.
What I assume to be the filling loop has no valves. There are two valves connected to these pipes higher up however, the two on the right. Is it those I turn?
I m not entirely sure if I can blow the entire flat up but just in case.
Boiler is switched off.

Your filling loop is the flexible pipe at the bottom of the picture. Although not clear in the picture it looks like the "top connection" is a valve with a slot which can be turned with a flat blade screwdriver. If this is the case turning it so the slot lines up horizontally should allow the boiler to be re-pressurised. Generally the pressure on the gauge should be around 1 bar / 15 PSI with the boiler cold. Do not go over 2 bar / 30 PSI to avoid the risk of the boilers safety / blow off valve operating. If the bottom filling loop valve also has a slot both valves will have to be turned so the slots are horizontal to pressurise the boiler. Turn valve/s so the slot/s are vertical once the required pressure is reached.
