One of my former engineers is a lecturer at Dudden Hill. What was the name of your chap Tony?

Not allowed to post it on here.

But you can put your chaps name if you wish. I very much doubt it was the same one though.

Its really worrying some of the comments in this post from so called experts , OP you need and experienced engineer and if he or she even thinks about getting a Flue gas analyser out for your back boiler tell them to do one

 

[gas112]

Its as basic as it gets in reality, its just today's boiler repairmen as fireman says sh#te them selves

 

[FiremanT]

Aren't operatives registered as traineess, supposed to be supervised?

It is part of BG's SOP's to FGA back boilers, at least it was a couple of years ago.

My registration number exceeds 5 digits so unfortunately I can't help.

That might be so but the name puts you back under the spotlight

Sweep the heat exchanger, clean the main burner and pilot assembley, as Steel said- clean the lint arrester and the rest of the checks.
The boiler will still be here giving reliable belt and braces service for a zillion years unless the uninitiated involved in which case you will have a new boiler fitted in 4 hours 12 minutes and 23 seconds and picture of the back boiler will appear in the Gassafe magazine

It was turned off as tenant went to docs as had some tests done and had high carbon monoxide levels. Could only think it may be boiler as the alarm has been beeping which they thought was due to low battery. As a precaution it was turned off

There must be someone on here that covers Birmingham???

Alarm does not "beep" for CO detection - it screams.

When boiler sorted invest in a CO alarm that records the highest CO concentration since last reset. Bear in mind cookers, grills especially, can produce CO, it is possible that the tenant regularly visits someone that DOES have a CO problem.

Are you the Landlor?

you could please yourself with fga results with just changing position of probe ,

The alarm present at the moment is the one purchased from British gas, I'll buy another.

Yes I'm the landlord. Luckily only boiler on gas, and should have someone coming to take a look

When a boiler has been capped off, I charge as for a repair if off at meter. If the pipe is cut then extra £15 to reconnect that.

Tony

eh?
