Hi everyone
Went to this today for LGSC tenant reporting loud explosion from boiler approx four times a day been doing it for approx 6 months but only just mention it today.
BP 9.2 mb GR 21Kw Qn as per Mi's
Can't detect any let by from gas valve
My theory is solenoid possibly slow opening sometimes letting gas in to burners but not ignite ing then opening up and explosives ignition due to to small previous volume of gas already in burners.

I stayed there for 2 hrs today as she assured me it would do it but as you know!

Cycled on off for them two hours nothing

Have a new gas valve on standby going back tomorrow

Any opinions would be much appreciated
