Hi
We have just noticed a varnishy/ paint thinners type smell. We have narrowed it down to coming from the pump, boiler or gas fire. We had the heating, hot water and fire on, so all 3 items were running when we noticed the smell. They are fairly close together so it's hard to accurately identify the culprit. I plan to try a process of elimination tomorrow night, but do I need to be taking action now?
The boiler is a back-boiler, it has not been serviced in the 6 years that I have lived hear (sorry). It is a Baxi Bermuda 401 Boiler (GC 4407749) situated behind/ beneath the gas fire.
The pump is in a cupboard to the left of the fire/ boiler, I cannot see a name on it anywhere, but it is blue!!!
Can anyone offer me any advice on what the problem might be, and what precautions I should be taking?
Many thanks
Mark
