Thanks for all your responses, I have obtained a copy of the Periodic Inspection Report. The comments are as below. Extent & Limitation of the inspection - Visual inspection, no dismantling or lifting of floors. Observations - Main consumer unit has been modified to current regulations...

I wonder if anybody can confirm if this is correct... A friend is looking at renting out a domestic property and has been told that he needs to get a electric safety certificate - presumably a landlords certificate. He therefore got an electrician to carry out a check, and was told the...

Having done a little research into material costs beforehand, I agree with the £1300-1400 materials (always good to have an idea of materials costs before getting quotes). Hence the reason I was expecting a quote around £1900. Trust me this one is as simple as it gets, 22mm gas existing (short...

Thanks for the responses guys, Steady - You are correct, I did forget to mention that the two quotes were indeed like for like. WB 37Cdi combi with wireless optimiser control. However, in this situation it is not actually relevant. The quotes that are to be examined against one another are...

I am currently in the process of getting my existing boiler replaced and thought people who were about to go through the same may be interested in my experience of quotations. I initially sought a quote from an installer who had previously carried out work for somebody I know. He quoted...

Thanks for the responses. McMarshon, I am in Gildersome, Morley. Happy Plumber, am I correct in thinking you are not particularly keen on Worcester boilers (given your spelling)? If so, why and what would you recommend?

I have a 15 year old Worcester 350 Combi which is now coming to the end of it's life (minor problems on a increasingly regular basis). I am looking to get it replaced and am considering the Worcester 37CDi, does anybody have any thoughts on this. Roughly how much should I expect to pay for...

Cheers guys. Changed the thermistor (£6 from ebay inc postage!) Hot water restored, happy days!

Cheers Nickso, is it possible that the thermister has been damaged by the corrosion and therefore the fault?

I have just removed the cover and the domestic hot water sensor has a white powder scaling on and below it. Could this be a problem (possible leak and therefore air blockage?)

Can anybody please advise to the likely cause of the following problem on my Worcester 350 Combi boiler? The central heating sideof the boiler works fine but there is no hot water (may get a bit of lukewarm at beginning). The boiler does not ignite when demand for hot water is initiated...
