Problem is that it is still making soot in appreciable quantities.
Flakes up to about 10mm across.
Have spoken to the engineer again and he is a bit stumped.

My only guesses are (1) the boiler is now working more efficiently and
is burning off residue from the H/E or (2) that the burner unit is worn,
burning improperly, and creating soot.

If (1) I hope the problem will go away, but it has now been 3 months.

Any ideas please?


Soot is a warning sign of incomplete combustion and your warning sign
that the boiler is probably producing carbon monoxide in lethal
quantities. If you had a large dog foaming at the mouth would you leave
it and hope the problem would go away?
Get it sorted.
