Ariston boiler seals

[Holly]

Hi

I have a 2007 ariston combi boiler that was serviced by a plumber the other day. He rang me to say the seals are starting to go in the boiler and will eventually write the boiler off if not sorted. He said it 'melts from the inside out'.

Is this absolute ballcocks or a genuine problem? Sounds a bit dodgy to me. The seals are only a few quid so if they did need replacing how much is a reasonable quote do you think?

thanks for your help

5 years old, should have had some new burner seals etc by now. Sounds genuine
