Boiler issues
Former Community Member
We have a Potterton Combi boiler, it was losing pressure. Engineer replaced the diverter valve and said it was corroded. It worked fine for a few days before making a loud banging noise for s few minutes which stopped when the sink taps were on. It was ok for a couple of days and then went off completely. The engineer says the circuit board needs replacing but I'm wondering what caused the issue with the circuit board & whether it will just blow again. I think the boiler is about 8 years old. Any advice welcome.
Did you have to open a gasway or part of the flue system to do it ?
If not then you are not working on the gas system, any more than if you change the hall thermostat or the heating pump.
For the avoidance of doubt, if there is a paper trail your receipts ought to be clear on that.
If not working for hire or reward you only need to be competent for the task at hand, no memberships required. HSE are generally not interested in stuff that just happens not in the way of business , so long as it is being done correctly. However, having a suitably qualified friend on speed dial may be advised if it goes a bit wrong.
Chris for your own use, try Beermingum Ingiooring Surploys - or at least I think she said something like that on the phone when I called in my last order for a gas hose for a camping stove, there is a slight language barrier but they are very good..
