Not 100% but will revisit tomorrow.
Situation is, visited as had a leak that was running down inside of upstairs wall and into downstairs lounge. Roofer had visited and said leak was caused by split felt and pointing needed doing on parapet wall. This didn't cure issue hence call for me. Turns out that overflow pipe was split just near where it came out the soffit this in turn was causing water to run along soffit and causing the damp (ball valve was dripping). This was 2 days ago so switched off valve to tank and said I would revisit with new fluidmaster and replace overflow. Returned today and fixed the aforementioned.
Anyway now onto the important bit, she was complaining that DHW was not capable of a full bath. Checked cylinder stat and this was far to low 50c and only a small cylinder so cranked up to 60c. Then visited boiler which I think was a potterton profile didn't pay that much attention (so not 100% sure) but did note that it appeared like the pilot was always on only looked for around 1 minute but main burner was not lit at the time. She then went onto explain that the boiler takes many times to actually fire. Can someone confirm that this boiler is electronic ignition and should not have a permanent pilot. If this is the case then this amounts to the gas valve letting by on the pilot side and is potentially a very dangerous situation. Will go round there tomorrow and get definite model number.
Thanks
