That's the sort of boiler service you get asked to do and your heart sinks when you see it.
Have serviced some that weren't much better!
See a few that have a brick on the top door as the studs have rotted away. :smile:

Well not too much was wrong with it in the end, we were removing the pump and motorised valve on the right side of the boiler and capping off the two 22mm pipes which were supplying a flat at the side of the main house, which now has 24KW lpg combi doing the job.
After removing the shrubs and tidying up the casing I stuck the smoke pump and analyser in out of curiosity, the co2 was 11.8% not bad considering no one has ever touched the old girl since it was installed.
The customer owns a company call "energy solutions" insulating house and all that, so there was no excuse.
