Have they every cleaned inside the boiler eg stripped it down ?
Funnily enough this last service was the first time it was stripped down. A part was replaced which was all gunged up and fern ox added.

I’m guessing it didn’t light first time and when it fired the second the extra gas made it go bang maybe
Thanks. Will pot post-mortem result in due course!
