There is a real chance of the boiler being dangerously sooted. Is it serviced regularly?

Lie on the floor, look at the flames. If they are yellow and floppy, then turn off immediately - don't leave it for fitter.

Don't forget to let us know the answer

Best to get this checked out they do fire frequently to heat gravity hotwater especially now the cold snap has hit and there is more demand but need ventillation and servicing each year and a saftey check . cheers kop
