Boiler Problem

[Agile]

Can you post a picture of this valve in case we can offer a suggestion to help?

Boiler thermostat is the most likely culprit but you need a gas registered installer to fit it and carry out the relevant safety checks.
It's a regular fault.

Thanks for your thoughts Jeff, it was something my plumber was considering but I can't get him to nail down a day to check it, I'm thinking that he cant really identify the problem so would rather distance himself from it rather than change something that wasn't the problem,

Sounds like you need to find someone who is able to diagnose boiler faults. Randomly swapping parts will soon get expensive!

That's for sure, but the the motorised valve needs replacing for sure, so I'm going to do that plus drain and de sludge as much as possible so it sounds like the only other thing to try after that is boiler thermostat replacement, failing that burst into tears

That's a wickedly inviting pint you're holding there, Jeff.
