hi I have a Potterton Suprema 30 boiler, the thermal couplers going so
says a plumber I know as the hot water keeps going off, about once a
week. Is it easy to do myself?

Can I do it myself legally?
How much should it cost to get someone to do it properly if i cant do
it?

Any help would be appreciated

thanks.......


Assuming the fault is the the thermocouple then you can fix it yourself if
you are competant to do so.

A pro would/could/should charge you a minmum call out plus 5 quid for the
part. I have heard stories (first hand) of people who have paid silly
money (£100) for this job.
