VerifiedHi I am Rick, UK Plumber, and I specialize on Boiler problems, which room is the boiler in, and where does the flue terminate, is it near a window or vents in the soffit etc, Rick
well it is hard to say, but I would be looking at flue gases getting into the building not necessarily CO, another possibility is something in the boiler getting hotter than it should and giving off fumes, there are fiber mats inside that could do this, but not having hands on it is hard to tell, Rick
