Combi Boiler Leaking!

Hi,

I've noticed that our combi boiler has started dripping water recently (we think it might be the cold water pipe although not 100% sure). It's a very slow drip. Also the boiler doesn't seem to come on every time when the hot tap in the kitchen/bathroom is used.

Would we be best calling out a boiler repairman
or getting the boiler serviced?

Many thanks in advance!

    The boiler repair man and the Boiler service man are one and the same person. Get him out to do both jobs at once - it will only cost you one call out fee than. People seem to underestimate the need for routine servicing of boilers. You need to do it annually and this will keep the boiler in good condition aswell as ensuring it is running efficiently and hence saving you money on the gas.
