Ideal boiler keeps clogging in new build property

[oz-plumber]

Ps - can anyone answer me this?

can someone please explain how all the houses on my estate have flues less than 300mm away from opening windows on the external walls? Shouldn't this have been picked up on at the time they got signed off?

ours was less than 300mm from cooker vent, so they moved the vent across a brick, and denied they were at fault as they said the boiler was installed before the cookers went in. But the boilers wouldn't have been installed before the brickies made the holes for the windows?

Hi M2ARTY,

You are not going to resolve any of your issues with postings on this site.
Your situation seems to be an installation fault.
The only way you are going to get a firm resolution to your problem is to get the manufacturers of the boiler, or a representative of the boiler manufacturer, to give you a report on your installation.

If the MI haven't been followed, then you will not have any warranty on your boiler and when it comes time to change the boiler you will be up for big bucks for a competent installer to make it comply with regulations.

Bet its a 2 port not pcb fault.

whats the 2 port matey? The PCB was replaced last time. Assumed same fault


yes I can get photos

also, the boiler has a manufacture date of 26/03/2008 and was benchmarked on 30/01/2012. Would this concern you? Ideal said max 12 months between these dates!!!!!

What boiler is it, an ideal icos? an ideal logic? post a picture.

maybe the flue is full of debris, take a look down the flue with the boiler turned off.

The general public think they are getting a good house when they buy new build. In reality most new builds are terrible quality and built by tradesmen that are on the lowest wages working 5 times faster than they should do meaning every thing is done to cut corners. Never ever buy the shower house, it will be held together by paint.

Im currently working on new build and every day im shocked by what i see. Ive been on several sites the last few months and not one has the gas pipework done correctly. New builds are sold on the finished look theres cancer behind the makeup.

slightly off topic, but i know what your saying about newbuilds, but why is it the poor developers always need public money to get them to build houses? they keep saying its because of the cost of building a house that they dont make enough. i think its probably BS myself.

personally i wouldnt entertain most newbuild barratt hutches there far too tiny. why do people buy them? if people said bugger off im not living in a house half the size, they wouldnt sell any.
