Thanks for the info guys i think it looks like the Worcester is the best option for now: Howeverm, had a further quote for a Baxi 33kw yesterday (think it was the duo-tech) which came in around the same price as the Worcester. Is it worth going for the Baxi to get the extra 3kw or is it...

Hi guys - just after some advice. I've got a 4 bed house with 3 bathrooms. Currently have an underpowered old 24kw boiler with broken diverter valve that i want to replace. I've had the following quotes: Northern Gas: Saunier Duval 30E, 30kw class B boiler for £1600 all in. EON...

Ok had BG man aroudn last night and he said a couple of interesting things: Firstly the cost of the job would be 3 ot 3.5k which is 30-40% more that local plumber has quoted ouch. Secondly he did say that the 120bthu Worcester that plumber is reccomending is over spec for the mains...

Don't know what sort of pump we've got to be honest. Had BG man round last night to assess the bolier and he agreed with the local plumber that the boiler was way underpowered for the size of house. His suggestion was that it might be crud in the system or a broken radiator - again not sure how...

We do have a TRV fitted which will be adjusting the temperature but how regularly? And would this really cause a noise due to temp fluctuations every few minutes? (Surely the pipes don't cool down that quick even at this time of the year).

Thank you for that - very useful. I'll see what the exact quote comes back in at and go from there. I've got British Gas coming in as well to give me a second opinion but i'm expecting them to be expensive.

Dear all, Our radiator currently creaks both when coming up to temperature and the whole time the heating is on. THe creaking sounds cyclic whereby we get about 10-10 creaks over a 30 second period which stop and the re-occur every 2-3 mins. I've looked at all the existing posts and even...

Dear all, We are having problems with our existing boiler (SIME Friendly E) diverter valve gone and relays/solenoids need replacing. Our boiler struggles and no longer gives us hot water unless the heating is on. The plumber has suggested that we replace the bolier with a Worcester boiler...

Thanks Tony, I guess the diverter valve replacement needs a plumber (i wouldn't know where to start) is this a big job? (expensive? I'm not convinced about the sticking on the wood cause it carries on the whole time the heating is on, not just when the pipes expand? TRV - is this a...

Hi there - i have a couple of questions if i may which i'd appreciate some advice on: firstly we have a SIME boiler (400 i think). The water only seems to get hot when the central heating is switched on. If we run the water whilst the heating is not on then it gets lukewarm at best. Any...
