Hey everyone, Apologies, this is really random but wondered what you all thought. I’ve had issues with my logic combi boiler for years. Those issues seem to have since stopped for about a year now. Recently I’ve noticed the backlit display on the boiler keeps randomly lighting up. Nobody is...

Thanks for this. Does it pose an immediate risk if I continue using the boiler until it’s fixed? I’m still waiting on an engineer to fix it. Apparently having a 5 month old baby and no hot water/heating isn’t an emergency… I ran the tap tonight and the violent rumbling has stopped but I can...

Update on this…today when I ran the hot water, the ignition light on the display is coming on and the water is turning hot, then the boiler starts violently and loudly rumbling. Any ideas? It’s not about to explode?!

When I turn the hot tap on, it churns for a little, the temperature on the display goes to 18 degrees then doesn’t move beyond that. When I turn the tap off, there’s a bubbling, gurgling noise. I’m assuming there is air in the system but bleeding the radiators hasn’t fixed it. Going to get an...

Afternoon everyone, I have an ideal combi c30 boiler which has been the bane of my life since it was installed. I used to get constant pressure drops but a sneaky leak in a back cupboard fixed that. This morning, I turned on the heating for the first time in months and all seemed well until I...

To be honest, I wouldn’t have the first clue how to anyway! I’m just surprised such a product exists!

This is very interesting! Is it easy to apply?

Thanks for this! So long as there isn’t a huge amount of water being dumped into my foundation, I can afford the council some patience! I’ve looked pretty much everywhere. It’s not any of the radiators and I’ve checked all the exposed pipes. Good luck to the poor guy who has the task of...

Evening guys, Just a little update - or not - I put a bag over the pressure relief pipe a little while ago and it’s bone dry, despite all the rain and wind we’ve had! I spoke to the council and they’ve lodged a repair, however this will most likely take months to happen. I was just...

Before the boiler was installed, we had a massive copper cylinder in a cupboard and a tank in the loft, it would take about an hour to heat up before anyone could have a bath and longer if there were radiators on! It must’ve been ancient as the guys removing it were shocked to see it. I would...

Great - thank you! I’ll get the council on it as it’s definitely way beyond my remit. In the interim, is topping up my boiler once a fortnight (roughly) going to do any extensive damage to it? It took the council three months to replace a radiator so I don’t see this being a quick fix!

The pipes do all come up vertically from concrete to the radiators! Interesting…thank you for that. So it could well be a case of a plumber breaking into the concrete on the ground floor or taking up the floorboards upstairs? That’s well beyond my level of expertise! I’m guessing there is...

Ground floor is concrete and boiler is downstairs in the kitchen

Evening guys, Just a quick update on this. The bag I placed around the pipe outside is bone dry so I’m assuming it’s not that? Bit of a silly question but do water pipes run along the walls and edges of the house, or could they be in the middle of the ceiling/flooring? I’m going to see if I...

Thank you for this! Last year I had a leak in my kitchen ceiling however the plumber who came couldn’t find any pipes running through the kitchen ceiling and instead found water had been pooling from the bath and coming through the floor which he then sorted and has been fine ever since. Is...
