Stop using BG. They are a rip off.

Find a local heating engineer to service the boiler and give it a check over.

Then put some money aside each month to cover repairs as and when they are needed. You don't need to give the likes of BG your money each month.

I wasn't intending to. It was the previous owners who used BG to service the boiler. Thanks, I'm sorting a local engineer now.

So owners have told the BG engineer not to turn it off (probably cos they were trying to sell). But then when I google this new legislation, apparently engineers are told to turn it off as a matter of course although whether its actually dangerous is another matter.

Whether it is deemed AR (there is two categories of this) or ID (immediately dangerous) you have to get the gas responsible person to agree to let you either turn off or cap off, so if they say no then you can't do it, however in the case of ID the engineer will phone the gas emergency service & they will cap you off with or without your permission, is it dangerous atm probably not but if it comes apart because it's not supported then yes it could be lethal
