boiler leaking water
split_second
Posts: 2,761 Forumite
hi all hope someone can help me, about a week and a half ago we noticed a leak on our condenser boiler (biasi riva), managed to get hold of a friend of a friend (yes, gas safe registered of course) and was told problem is with the diverter valve.
will get the price for the part needed and call me the following day.
over a week later i manage to get hold of the guy, apparently the part is in a kit and this kit is £170 :eek: its not a small job to fix and apparently the boiler isnt an expensive one to start with.
the valve (which is a small black box) has not been removed yet and no time frame has been given as to when this will happen, have been told will find out more and get back to us. what do you guys/girls advise?

Very cheap boiler, usually installed by DIYers, stingy landlords or dirt cheap 'RGIs'.
Which specific model of Biasi Riva as there are several?

Get a second opinion from a RGI recommended to you by a source you trust. The latest incarnation of this boiler can be purchased for less than £600 (though I wouldn't recommend it:eek:)

This is the first one I found. I'm sure there are plenty more.
