OK after three plumber hours we have success. There pressure valve was not working so it was showing full mains pressure into the house. Her replaced that and then in testing the tank release valve to prevent over heating needed replacing. Once that was comes he asked pressure to a reasonable level. As he pointed out the higher the o pressure the more water usage the higher the e water bill. All seems ok now
Thanks for everyone that helped
