There's nothing I can't fix on on Worcester in under 2 hours - that includes fault diagnosis and collection of parts. Parts are also readily available and cheaper than most - more than can be said for Atag and intergas. Also, at least Worcester have their own employed engineers, with quick response times....

And Intergas don't?
I can disassemble and rebuild an Intergas completely in less 2 hours. Do I get a blue Peter badge too?
They might have employed engineers in your area but that would certainly be an exception....
Intergas parts are ridiculously expensive.

Good job they don't need many then
Yeah they don't need many because hardly any are installed.
OP, in your previous house what boiler did you have installed and was it a combi ?
What did you think of it?
I cringe when I read of those who insist on squeezing boilers into tiny kitchen cupboards thus making future maintenance difficult.

You're so right. Do you realise we charge nearly £4 for the heat exchanger gasket kit!!
Remind me again how much the WB kit is and does it only need changing after every 5 or 6 full stripdowns?
Still that's why WB just won that national award isn't it??
Oh wait that was us
Ideal and WB, you must have lots of very satisfied clients
How much do your service brushes cost razor?

Hi Tony,
I'm embarrassed to say that in the end, I just went with whatever the plumber suggested, even after all the great advise on here....sorry. Buying a boiler for the layman is a minefield.
But I have to say, I love all the arguments about who can strip what the fastest and who's gaskets cost more !! Hahaha.
Bet none of you could repair a Rhode & Swcharz faster than me !! na, na, na, na, na.
As for putting the boiler into a kitchen cupboard, I sympathise with you on that one. But there was nowhere else on that occasion and who wants a nasty looking boiler 'on show' just because the plumber wants an easy life !!
A Rhode and Swcharz what?
Polyskop II ?
Perhaps you have also seen one of these?
Or the real thing!

Yes Tony, I am a Broadcast Radio Engineer. However, that Polyskop is a bit before my time But we do still have some stuff hanging around that scares the life out of me.
As for those OB extendable masts....................Wow. I'm definitely not that old.
