Just thought I would update/comclude this. I tried Huws Gray as suggested, and strangely as I was there they had a pallet delivered. These were the right height but too narrow! They were only 125mm wide which is bizarre as all the others are 140mm. So that was close. But, I popped into my local...

Well I tried Wickes but just too big unfortunately. Anyone have any other ideas where I can buy coping stones from please. Thanks.

According to the website, my local one has stock and judging by the pic they seem close (straight edges as opposed to rounded off) so here's hoping! Hopefully they will be slightly under size and will be close enough. Every time I buy timber it comes in under size, can't help but think that...

Thanks! I'll take a look. Tried Travis Perkins, Jewsons, B&Q, all no joy.

According to the website they don't seem to have any stock in numerous stores? Any idea of any other places please. Never thought it would be so difficult to buy single width coping stones.

Thanks for the reply. Any idea where I can buy the 50mm ones then and I'll see if they are close enough.

Thank you, I have just looked on the website but their coping stones are higher. The search continues! But they have a branch near me so I think I'll pop in though.

Hi, does anyone know where I can get coping stones similar to the picture please. So far I've tried Travis Perkins, Jewsons and B&Q. Sizes are 140mm width, apex height 40mm, side height 22mm. Length not important. Thanks.

I see, thanks for the explanation. I was thinking they may not be repairable or something. As I have a British Gas service contract, they would hopefully fix a boiler with this kind of issue, as they are obliged to as long as parts are available.

Thanks, I am really hoping so! I got that fed up with the service guys constantly telling me I'd save loads with a new boiler, that I'd now like to see that they are right.

Aren't these still current models/parts? How come you are not fixing them instead?

Aside from the front panel LED's no longer working, and the pressure gauge not registering properly, my old Worcester 240 was working great, and that was with 11 radiators, the boiler was even moved once when an extension was built (3 more rads added), and has performed great throughout. The...

Thanks for the replies. Well, the Vaillant has been installed now, took a while, 2 days plus a third (couple of hours) for the survey. Very quiet which is nice. Seems ok, but things are so finicky, complicated and overly tech these days, I just can't imagine it lasting for 30 years as the...

Just to conclude this, Vaillant wins. Researching on the net, as well as the many posts on here on the subject, proves that there are frequent gripes about Worcester these days, such as that they are noisy, have plastic/aluminium parts. Yet it is a struggle to find a Vaillant criticism, amd...
