The classic "My boiler needs a service". How often do we get a request for a boiler service, when it actually needs a repair? This one needed a bit of an overhaul, but I got it done and all sorted for the customer.

If I could make a suggestion, as you’ve a good gas sniffer , as you are checking around for gas leaks check around the joints around the mixing arm to burner door , the seals frequently fail. LDF also works. The part numbers can be difficult to find. I keep them in my van stock if you need the numbers.

Worce one I ever had was a old shop asking for service, I asked if it worked okay and say yes. When I got there if was doors hanging off boiler so I said I'm going to try it first, heating nothing, hot water nothing,, I said I though you said it was working okay they said it was, I said when was that I was told a year ago. I forgot name but it was obsolete so I decided to leave it as I told them need to pay by hour.
