In 27 years I have seen quite a few gas valves both leak out of the diaphragm, leak up through the push button or pass un burnt gas either via the pilot when carryig out a tightness test or even pass on main flame giving a constant small bead of flame on the burner. It is a safety device and as...

There are no industry standards as such it's just some engineers have more pride in the work they do. Change your plumber ?

Standard CEN1 qualification is up to 70Kw net heat input as that is what he BS 6898 covers. Anything larger would be classesd as non - domestic. If in doubt phone CORGI for guidance

In the words of Catherine Tate "Am I bothered" couldn't really care less what you do or think and I bet I'm not alone on that. :D

my guess would be boiler sooted up due to lack of servicing..Post back and let us know what the cause is

I believe Balenza is the poster who advised somebody earlier you could fit an unvented on a solid fuel boiler if you were competent enough and that the British Standards were written by Numpty's with nothing better to do. He also claimed I did not no enough about heating if I had to quote...

The obvious thing to do if the BBU is AR or NTCS due to ventilation regs is to upgrade the air vent to current standards. Then there would be no need to replace a functioning boiler.

[ The changes to ventilation regs have not been made by CORGI they have been altered by the change in the standard for ventilation BS5440-2. These were amended a couple of years ago with the June date being set for it to become the current regulation.

I would suggest with your lack of knowledge to get a professional in. Could be a primatic cylinder then would never airlock !!

would have to agree fans are prone to failure on these boilers but are still available changed one in the last month.

I have an extensive knowledge of heating systems and a happy set of customers. If you want to go against B/standards building regs etc fine but not really a good idea to give bad advice out to others. Actually as well as being a gas engineer I run a succesful assessment and training centre so...

The British Standards are believe it or not designed for a reason ie safety so accidents like the recent event where a young child lost their life due to an immersion heater having no thermal cut off do not occur. I pity your customers if you are a professional if that is your attitude to...

good luck to the original poster if he can find somebody who will install and register with a suitable competant person scheme an unvented cylinder when the unvented water regs and bpec state an unvented cylinder should not be fitted to a solid fuel boiler.

No because if it blew you would need to repressurise the system and the regs clearly state an interlock that cuts off the heat source is required and at present no unvented cylinders are designed and CE marked for use with solid fuel.

you are not allowed to run an unvented cylinder on solid fuel as there is no safety interlock to cut off the heat if overheating occurs.

Why does your Father in Law need a Combi are you sure he does not mean a condensing boiler?

Not without the full manufacturers instructions. I would go back to the shop and get them to obtain a copy..

just one point you bought your clock off a person selling goods not from Ebay. Good chance with the type of clock being designed for housing assosiations etc it is not legit

Would say if you had tyres not rated speed wise to manufacturers spec and you had an accident your insurers might not be to happy.
