There is something seriously wrong with this boiler.

Yellow flames like this suggest ventilation and/or flue problems and
carbon monoxide is being produced.

These need to be checked as well as heat exchanger pathways and a
proper CO test done as well.

Until that can be done, the appliance should be switched off to
prevent you killing yourself with CO poisoning


Oops! It's been burning yellow for a few weeks now. I only noticed the
soot a couple of days ago.

I've turned it off as you and Mr Gabriel have advised. I'll get someone
in to look at it next week. Shame cos I only just fixed the radiator in
my bedroom. Better look out my woolly jumpers!

Thanks!
