    Please-Please - can we stop the bickering here. I did not mean to start WW3 :oops: The top and bottom is that I have BG coming back tomorrow. I want them to fix the leak and supply a full certificate for it. I will then be cancelling the Contract and going onto the Alpha one which is £13 a...

    Perhaps not on that point but that was a straight swap - ie it was corroded at the top - no fault finding required. However we have been suffering on the fault finding aspect of our problems with this boiler, and as pointed out - more than likely the engineers that have come have not had...

    Can I clear a few things up. 1. The installation issue has only just been pointed to me - I have now arranged to get a G3 Ticketed guy out - he is just waiting for the part to arrive before booking us in. 2. We have had persistent dripping from the overflow for the past 9 months with a...

    Thanks for the advice above - however I am not a plumber/fitter what ever. I took out a BG contract because they are. I do not know what should be done or not done. I pay them a monthly fee for that service. I do not however just take things at face value and use forums like this to consult...

    Alpha CB50 Boiler exploded today

    Right - BG just been - replaced the vesel and another PRV valve - but have left us with an "at risk" boiler because the overflow has been fitted wrong - should be into a tundall (excuse spelling or phrase) and then a 22mm pipe going to outside - does this sound right? However my wife is...
