I have just called at a new customers home to look at their back boiler as it was on my way home.
Bloke said can you come and look at our heating, I said yeh no probs I will call in on my way home but it might be 7 - 8 ish ok he said.
When I got there and walked in it was freezing and the first thing he said was TO BE HONEST WE HAVE NEVER HAS IT SERVICED IN 12 YEARS AND IT STARTED TO SMELL SO I TURNED IT OF. (not shouting)
I have worked on many back boilers but never in my life have I seen one this bad !
Nearly an inch of soot across the bottom heat exchanger and god knows how many molten bits of plastic.
Range rated and should be set to 7.1 mb as indicated but burner pressure was 19 mb (max was 15.1)
I capped it and will return but I just cannot believe some folk.
rant over time for a beer
