After a lot of heaving, shoving, and moaning the BG engineers finally got all the broken baffles out. They managed to get the "lid" off the bottom of the boiler and then pulled them all through (a bit awkward as there was only a few inches clearance but the broken baffles bend easily).

The new baffles slotted in easily, a few other bits were changed and my boiler is back in business again. Hoorah!

I got the impression from BG that these baffles aren't checked regularly. I could be wrong here but BG Homecare only carry out "safety inspections" rather than "full services" (so they wait for something to go wrong rather than carry out preventative maintenance). Engineer told me at one point that unless there's a definite fault they prefer not to touch anything just in case it causes a problem.

I will insist that the turbulator baffles are checked every year from now on though, they seem really fragile.

The full list of stuff changed on my boiler -

8 * turbulator baffles
2 * service gasket set
1 * sump - flue collector
1 * lip seal
1 * spark electrode buccleigh
1 * gasket electrode
1 * gasket main burner

BG engineer said that the total cost would have been around 600 quid (thank goodness for Homecare!).
