Leaking boiler - Please help

Hi All

I am noticing droplets of water dripping from the combi-boiler unit for the last few days. ALthough it does not seem as a major issue yet and I was wondering if this is something that my Home emergency package would cover.

The boiler came with the house when we moved in a year ago and it looks newish ( although I do not have any other details regarding the boiler)

Do I need to call a plumber or can i take up a home cover and call them after the cooling off period.

Any suggestions most welcome.

Linda

    I suggest that you get your Home cover people in ASAP before the boiler incurs more damage. Water in the electronics will result in a new PCB probably being required. Why would you wait for the 'cooling off period'-you can't take out this cover now if there is a pre-existing fault.
    Make and model of the boiler would help.
    PS: a plumber is not necessarily qualified to work on a gas boiler-you need a GSR RGI.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
