    Need Advice – Heating Issues, Sludge Diagnosis, and Boiler Warranty Concerns

    No I haven't already had it, the boiler engineer replaced the heating exchanger and everything started working, hot water and heating. I turned the heating off as it's warm but hot water is working already. They are coming on Friday. I am in Watford, Hertfordshire. They seemed pretty responsive...

    Need Advice – Heating Issues, Sludge Diagnosis, and Boiler Warranty Concerns

    Need Advice – Heating Issues, Sludge Diagnosis, and Boiler Warranty Concerns

    I just sat through a few very long YouTube videos on powerflushes — definitely see now that it’s a time-consuming job. I originally thought it was a bit less involved, so apologies on that. That said, just for transparency, I’ve been quoted between £8k and £10k for a powerflush alone by people...

    Need Advice – Heating Issues, Sludge Diagnosis, and Boiler Warranty Concerns

    No offence intended, but I've had a wave of powerflush offers over the last day or so—most of them quoting ridiculously high prices.

    Need Advice – Heating Issues, Sludge Diagnosis, and Boiler Warranty Concerns

    Fair enough, looks like getting a new boiler is the only thing left, or maybe claiming under home insurance, I have home emergency cover for boiler and blocked pipes but maybe they will squirm out of that as well due to sludge build up....?

    [ Fair enough. I managed to get hold of him, he said he would ring tomorrow and discuss any questions I have. Not sure how a layman like myself could answer all of the questions in the application. Hopefully it's all straight forward and everything gets approved.
