Hi again folks, I had the heating on today (bad boy) to have a decent look at the boiler. It went through the usual chattering and multiple ignitions before it kept going. I noticed after a while that it seemed to working again....the radiators werent very warm. Normally they are quite hot...

The ventilation would be easy to fix. It would only need me to cut a vent in the hallway and tidy up the back wall in the cupboard...its only a plasterboard wall which had been cut down the middle for access during the installation. I would just have to fit a central strap from floor to roof to...

Hi again, I am sure the WB engineer was good at his job and I am not getting at him............he done his job properly. MY gripe is that he wasnt worth £210 for a look in my cupboard. I have had to add £210 to my credit card under the impression that I was given by Worcester Bosch that they...

GAS APPLIANCE INSPECTION REPORT. Faults identified... No 600mm straight to first bend on flue. No combustion vent Compartment not sealed from adjacent bedroom. Classification....at risk. Remedial work required... Flue brought up to correct standard as well as ventilation...

:( Bad news folks, After the carryon with the service company I decided I had to get this problem fixed before the winter set in. I contacted Worcester Bosch direct and arranged an all inclusive deal for £210 that would cover their engineer visiting, parts and vat. Small price to pay for...

Hi again folks, Here is another question for all you interested parties and wouldbe Citizen Advice advisers. My heating system was fitted by a reputable company 15 years ago. They are no longer in business. They seemingly did not fit my boiler properly according to the Worcester Bosch...

Hi again glasgowgas, I paid using my credit card and Im not the worrying type. You sound like one of Super Ally's fans. Give my regards to our bretheren fray weegie land in the west. Jock.

Hi glasgowgas and everyone who are trying to help. The people from WORCESTER BOSCH are determined to keep the £210 pounds that I paid in the assumption that it would cover the costs of labour,parts and vat. Had I known that their engineer would take one look and condemn it does not seem to...

Hi again folks, I totally agree with what you are all saying. Now its a matter of profit over customer satisfaction. Having said that I am sure that experience has a lot to do with speed and service you get now a days. I use to do about 3 of 4 jobs a day but remember that my area was the...

:( Hi again folks....thanks for the comments. Firstly mickyg Yes it is an open flue...seemingly regulations state that flue must rise 600mm before the first elbow. There was also an issue regarding a back wall whick wasn't 100% sealed from the cupbord at the back. Although there was a vent...

:( Just when you thought it couldnt get any worse get this..... I decided to bite the bullet and pay £200 for a Worcester Bosch engineer to visit in an all inclusive package...(labour,parts and vat.) He came out, took one look and condemmed the boiler. They boiler is in great condition but...

worcester 240.. Ch burner keeps going out and the system makes this rapid sparking type sound, relights then goes out again. This process can go on for up to an hour before it seems to light and then continue through the automatic startup sequence and stay lit.

I ve been with them for years and now that I have an intermittent fault on my gas boiler they arent interested. I called out the breakdown engineer and he would not check anything out because it was working again by the time he arrived. Homeserve seeming will not pay the breakdown engineer if he...

Hi there, Has anybody else had problems with a company called Homeserve who offer breakdown cover for heating and boilers ??? John.

:D Hopefully good news... The the Worcester Bosch engineer are coming tomorrow to hopefully repair the boiler. I am glad that this may be an end to this saga. I shall let youse know tomorrow if it has worked out ok. Jock.

:( Well no luck, Ive had the control panel down hoping to find a bad connection or something like that....evrything looks fine. I have tried to get the burner cover off but I can only see 4 screws there should be another two at the top but I dont see them. I have to assume now that it is...

Hi again bengasman, Good to hear from you again. I have a limit of two callouts per year unfortunately but that is the cover I was offered when I was with npower. They have refused to come out unless the boiler totally breaks down. I am a reasonable person and tried to speak to this company...

Hi there boabcelt, Its good to hear from another Fifer with some sort of idea what may be wrong. The breakdown engineers will not look at it because when they came out the last time, the fault had cleared and he said that he couldnt fix it if it was working when he called. He never checked...

Hi again, Firstly let me sorry to bengasman as he is correct. I thought it was a maintainance contract but what it actually is is what he says....a breakdown contract....I stand corrected and am sorry. What is happening now is the plumbing company who are employed by Homeserve are now...

Hi again, Does anybody read these posts properly. The system has been maintained since it was installed quite a few years ago. I dont quite understand what bengasmans problem is. It has been properly maintained and I do have this problem so maybe instead of passing sarky remarks he might give...
