You can but to me, a boiler in that condition needs changing. But it’s your call. A new boiler with possibly a 10 year warranty. Or repair the old one?

I get what you're saying Harvest Fields. I'm selling the house so I'm in 2 minds about it and tbh it's only 5 years old... so with a complete refresh from Bosch I can't see too much harm getting it repaired with some fresh components. I equally could buy an Ideal or something for 900 or so and get it fitted... still means the system might need to be flushed out before this is all done.
True. If you go with Worcester. Get it in an email, that there are no hidden costs and that it will definitely be repaired. They will probably also want you to take out a 12 month insurance policy with them. Make sure this isn’t also extra.
If that is from dirty water. It will eventually do the same to the new one.
Hence why cleaning the F&E tank will be a good idea basically, right?
Not in my experience. Only one way to tell though.
Nothing beats a powerflush
System would need a flush as part of install
Hmm I guess. Hopefully it's just a bunch of airlocking/some sludge and a good clean with chemicals left to descale the system will be enough. Is flushing the system a hard thing to do (not power flush)? Shall we clean the F&E tank manually (remove any sludge before it's drained?)? Not entirely sure the full process A-Z of cleaning the system with chemicals (something like sentinal x300)?
X800 will be what is needed.
Flush is going to be needed either way though right? Boiler repair is £315 and magnaclean is £90 + £50 fitting (from my gas dude), that's £450. New boiler + flush is gonna be at least double that i'd assume...
10 year warranty on the hex how old is the boiler
If it is registered.
Fixed repair is about £260.00 plus mate.
tbh worcester are normally good if it hasnt
If it wasn’t registered that explains a lot.
Not your Mums responsibility to register the boiler.
get worcester to supply you with a nex hex then get a local gas guy or worcester to fit as your in london rates can differ alot
She was the landlord..... Hence why I've registered it now as I'm the owner 😵
