Stagnant smell coming from boiler??

[Steph3333]

HI,

I have an intermitant smell of stagnant water that seems to be coming from the cupboard in which my gledhill boiler is housed. I live in a top floor flat and the boiler is at the front door when you enter the flat. The kitchen and bathroom are down the hall at the other end of the flat. I have drained the boiler a couple of times and the smell dissappears, yet it is back again and im getting to the end of my tether. I have had a gledhill engineer out who looked at the boiler but as the smell wasnt present at the time he couldnt find a porblem.

The smell isnt always present, does anyone have any ideas?

Any help is most appreciated.

Thanks Steph

Hi there
Is it a pressurised cylinder if so is the relief pipe been put into the waste pipework un-trapped?
Does it back on to the bathroom or have any soil pipework at all in the airing cupboard?
You may find a broken waste pipe or open end somewhere.
