Thanks for all the advice, all sorted! :D Decided against the WB fixed price and instead called a local company. Engineer diagnosed the problem almost immediately - it was the fan. After some lubrication the fan started spinning and the boiler fired up. A few more checks and the engineer was...

Absolutely not and I wouldn't expect ANY advice on DIY gas repairs! I'm not a "dangerous DIY gas person" and would never attempt gas repairs on any gas appliance. I was trying to estimate the likely cost and if to go for the WB fixed fee as I assume the control board will be the most...

Gas supply is fine. Thanks, didn't realise WB did a fixed call out fee. Managed to find a manual and does correspond with Fail Point H. One question though as I can't see a spark, would you be able to see the spark across the electrodes through the spy glass or would that need the inner...

Hi, My Worcester 28CDI Combi Boiler was working fine this afternoon but now I can't get it to ignite. I've tried the usual resetting the boiler, but there is simply no ignition, only the red CH demand light flashing slowly. Any ideas? Thanks

Hopefully someone has been in this situation and will be able to give me some advice of the following: A few months ago we had a roofer in replacing and making good our ridge tiles. Whilst he was carrying out the work he noticed smoke coming around the side of the shared chimney stack. He...

The isolater is fine.

Hi, The HW Demand / Burner On lights do not illuminate on the Worcester Bosch 28CDi and it does not "fire up" when there is demand for DHW. With the hot tap fully open there is not even a drop of water from the tap. The heating is working fine however? I would be grateful if someone could...

Hi, My inlaws are experiencing a problem with the DHW on their two year old Baxi. To get any hot water from a tap you now have to open the tap fully before you hear the boiler come alive and start heating the water. Any ideas on the source of the problem? Thanks

Isolating the mains supply to the boiler has identified the DHW heat exchanger as the problem. Anyone care to recommend a supplier for a replacement part and the likely cost? I assume they come with new o-rings/seals?

Hi, The overflow / discharge pipe from our 5 year old Worcester 28CDi RSF started dripping this morning. I've checked the boiler and the system pressure gauge has increased to 2.9 bar (heating off). The filling key is out, grey filling knob firmly shut off and the CH / DHW both appear to be...

We are just trying to get an idea of the what's involved to see if it is worthwhile, so haven't chosen a specific manufacturer yet. What's the going rate for a new circuit v's a fused spur off the ring main. Since I will not be doing the work myself do I still need to notify

Hi All, We are extending our bathroom and are thinking of replacing the radiator/towel rail with an electric underfloor heating kit. The kit we would require is rated at 1300W and I would be grateful of some advice as to whether a dedicated circuit (RCD) would be required or would a...

Toaster or microwave. What cable would be required? Thanks

Thank you for the advice. How could I adapt my original idea as I could really do with the extra socket on the CCU? Thanks.
