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.

    • The solicitor is also the Executor. Big mistake, but my Aunt was very old, and this was the Covid years and shortly after so impossible to intervene and get a couple of close relatives to do this.  She had no children so this is the nephews and nieces. He is a single practitioner, and most at his age would have long since retired - there is a question over his competence Two letters have already gone essentially complaining - batted off and 'amusingly' one put the blame on us. There are five on our side, all speaking to each other, and ideally would work as a single point of contact.  But he has said that this is not allowed - we've all given approval to act on each others behalf. There are five on her late husband's side, who have not engaged with us despite the suggestion to work as a team, There is one other, who get's the lion's share, the typicical 'friend', but we are long since challenging the will. I would like to put another complaint together that he has not used modern collective communication (I expect that he is incapable) which had seriously delayed the execution of the will.   I know many in their 80s very adept with smart phones so that is not an ageist comment. The house has deteriorated very badly, with cold, damp and a serious leak.  PM me if you want to see the dreadful condition that it is now in. I would also question why if the five of us are happy to work together why all of us need to confirm in writing.            
    • Isn’t a five yearly electricity safety certificate one of the things the landlord must give for a legal tenancy?
    • Very sorry to hear this, but surely the landlord is responsible for fixing the electrics?  Surely they must be insured for things like this? I hope you get it all sorted out quickly.
