My LPG Glow.worm Ultracom 30 sxi boiler has exploded in some way. The front has blown open and the casing has buckled. (I was on holiday at the time. Thermostat left set at 16deg.) Annual Service four weeks ago. Boiler and heating still working! Any suggestions on cause?

I’m guessing it didn’t light first time and when it fired the second the extra gas made it go bang maybe

100% agree with @king of pipes there!
Definitely a RIDDOR report this one. The cause needs to be investigated.

I hope they replaced the burner door seal and nyloc nuts when they cleaned the hex & burner as required, & LDF the GV inlet. This as previously mentioned needs turning off, isolating and reporting to gas safe & riddor for investigation. DO NOT USE!

Still it should not go bang even if it does not light first time. Should just go to lock out after 5 failed attempts should it not?
