    Breakdown cover.

    Hi again, Its a bit risky getting the worcester bosch out again. I could fix some of the faults bar the flue but he said that he wouldnt work on the boiler unless all the faults had been done. Lets remember, this is the guy I paid over £200 originally to fix the fault but went on to condemn...

    Breakdown cover.

    One thing has shone through this whole experience is that there isn't two heating engineers out there who interpret the legislation the same. Certainly heating engineers come out of it in a very poor light. One has been servicing the system for years without a murmer and another condemns the...

    Hi there, The engineer works for a reputable company and I sure he is fully qualified. He has been servicing the boiler for years under a Homeserve Breakdown and service contract. As I have been paying for this contract for years (£200/year) and was not notified that the boiler was at...

    Hi there, The engineer did not say anything about the venting. I casually mentioned theat I was hoping to get it replaced due to my circumstances and he said that normally for this to happen...the boiler would have to be condemned and he had doubts that my worcester bosch boiler would...

    Breakdown cover.

    Hi Boabcelt, Worcester eventually decided after complaint to only charge for a callout. So all in it cost me £115 to get the guy to condemn my boiler but I am realistic and expected to pay something so no complaints there. The Thomas Graham engineer is coming back tomorrow morning. Sods...

    COMBI BOILER FLUE REGULATIONS.

    I cant do much about the flue but I could easily do the other work. The back wall is made up of two vertical pieces of plasterboard which was connected up the middle with a strap of wood (like the back of a wardrope). The strap had come loose and the join was showing which has a gap of about...
