Hi all


our boiler is on the blink and have been ignoring it but really we need to sort it out. We will get a plumber if needs be but could really do without the cost so any wise people experienced in boilers do reply!


The reset light is flashing red, we have tried holding it down to reset it but it either turns the boiler on for a few seconds before returning to flashing or it just carries on flashing. have done the usual turning off and on again...nothing. That is the extent of our knowledge.


Anyone experienced this and did they manage to sort it/did it cost much to sort??

Hi Jennyh,


This sounds exactly like a problem we had recently. We had to call a plumber when we got fed up of boiling a kettle to do the washing up.


Turns out it was a small and inexpensive sensor that cost around ?15 plus Vat. However, overall cost of the plumber on call out and labour and the part ended up at ?160 (he did however service it at the same time).


Great to be able to run a bath again though

Thanks Keano77, its good to hear how much that cost you, lets wait and see if it is something similar.

MSA - thanks for the link, I tried that last night and did everything it suggested but alas it didn't work :(


Going to have to get the plumber over, I wouldnt mind too much if it wasn't for having a toddler, we need hot water so better get it sorted!


Thanks for your help.

Why don't you ring up Worcester / Bosch itself, and find out how much they charge for their engineer to visit and repair - as I know to come out and repair a Bosch Gas Hob that Bosch charge ?99 so maybe also competitive for one of their own Bosch Boilers vs Plumber.

I can also recommend Peter Bennison.


But I'd be inclined to phone the boiler manufacturers first as they might be able to talk you through trouble-shooting which isn't on their website help page.


Would only take the cost and time of a phone call, so nothing much lost if you still have to get someone to look at it.

Thanks everyone, got a plumber over from a recommendation on here and whilst he was here some other stuff went wrong so it turns out we have a few faults. The boiler is 7 years old and we've been rubbish with services so no surprise really. He recommended I call Worcester about it and I have decided to go with their service contract as there are a few things that could need doing in the long-term so it will give us repairs for a year. Not cheap but I think worth it on this occaion.

    • Hi if anyone has one pm me cheers 
    • You can always check when they registered on the forum, if you are suspicious. But I recommended Aria, and it certainly wasn't my only post on here, and it was a genuine recommendation. ETA: And he didn't ask me to make it, to the best of my recollection. But even if he had, many local tradespeople ask people to post on here if they are happy with the work that has been done.
    • I am not a patient at this practice, but surely it is more sensible to have an initial  phone discussion, as often the GP wouldn't need to see someone face to face unless they actually needed to physically examine them? This then leaves the available face to face appointments for patients who need them. And if during  the phone call the GP felt you needed examining, then arrangements could be made for a face to face. If you feel your ailment is such that you will definitely need to be physically examined, can you not explain that to the receptionist?
    • Give Labour a chance, they've only been in government for a short time, and they inherited a mess! As regards the notice boards, to the best of my recollection they were originally intended as community notice boards, and certainly not for advertising local businesses (who would decide which businesses  should have the limited space on the boards, anyway?) East Dulwich may have become more gentrified since the boards were first introduced, but that surely doesn't mean they should now be completely  taken over for the benefit of  the "middle classes", to the exclusion of everybody else? As  NewWave says, surely these people have other ways to find out about groups and events of interest to them, which the "non middle classes" may not have access to, and even if they did may not be able to afford them. Several people including myself have complained to councillors about the state of the noticeboards in the past.  I think one of the issues is that they were originally maintained by local volunteers, who may have either moved out of the area or lost interest - or given up in despair when the boards were flypostered and/or vandalised. I completely  agree that the boards should be used for information about not for profit organisations in the area, but if regular maintenance can't be provided and/or they continue to be vandalised, then I think it would be better if they were removed altogether.
