give us make/model of boiler and replies might be easier ie. Is it a combi? Does it have any markings? rough age? hot water ok? any previous faults? Are you really sure the thermostats/timer are switched on?

suspect the thermistor but with such a vague description it's hard to tell sorry. The thermistor is the plug under the h/e behind the fan if memory serves. Out of interest, is this boiler fitted in a flat by any chance?

small socket set, makita do a good one available from HRPC. Lots of different sockets/bits/ratchets/drivers. Got to know the Ideal Response very well. PCB's are usual problem as well as leaking H/E, corroded igniton/rec electrodes and spark generator. Dont even attempt to replace the...

depends on make/model.type of heating system. Suspect stuck microswitch in zone valve though

swear by worcester and vaillant, yes they might be noisy but hey, what do you expect from a mechanical product? Quietest boiler I ever heard was a veissman but not many people have a spare room to fit a boiler in.....

your the one with a duff boiler mate, i can sleep safe and cosy.

i'm sorry if my bedside manner is not to your tastes but i take my job extremely seriously, just like the majority of the pro-posters here. We all take the time to post here to keep people SAFE, not stroke ego's

my faith is restored nickso, if the rest were like you then BG wouldn't have the rep it so richly deserves these days. I work for a rival company these days and their "retention" team are reduced to name calling and downright lies to convince their customers to come back.

hasn't hys gone home with his ball yet?

wasn't having a go at you either G4Y, think the OP has run off and found someone to justify his actions anyways, I'm just a little jaded at the people who come on here and say " I've got a problem and although I know that I should have a pro look at it, i've used the little knowledge I've gained...

wasn't having a go, agile has the regs off by heart, I on the other hand, can't be bothered to quote them to someone who thinks it perfectly OK to start DIYing on gas appliances. Obviously they have no children or don't give a damn. either way may the yappie dog strike them down.....here endeth

nickso, performance targets were the reason I left BG. You cannot hit performance targets AND do the job properly without making sales too. I don't know about anyone else but I thought this industry was about keeping people safe, after all, that;s why I joined.

found that quote tool is ball ox, think of a number, add 20 percent then 3 hrs labour to nake a LD job, percentage AND performance, GET IN!!!!

hi JC, how did you get on?
