Estimate for servicing central heating boiler, fitting thermostats etc.,

[Dennis Leighton]

Hi All, This is my first posting to this Forum so please bear with me if I should transgress! I want to have my Baxi central heating boiler serviced, have 10 thermostats fitted to 10 radiators and a heated towel rail fitted in a bathroom. Is someone able to give me an idea of what the overall cost is likely to be? Very many thanks in advance. Dennis

It is a Baxi WM38/3RS boiler installed in my property in 1987. It has been serviced once only in that time and is working perfectly well though I think that a service is called for if I am having thermosats fitted as well as a heated towel rail. As I said in an earlier post I am based in Telford, Shropshire.

1 service in 27 years a service is very much called for.

There seems to be a problem with your website for a message which I recently posted is not showing. To recap. my boiler is a Baxi WM38/3RS and was installed in 1987. It has been serviced only once but is in good working order. I felt that the time was now right to have it serviced at the same time that I proposed having thermostat valves fitted to the existing radiators as well as a heated towel rad. I am an 81 year old pensioner and wanted some idea of the likely cost involved. Many thanks. Dennis

I was going to do it for £475 as you are 166 miles away. 1 service in 27 years. Well I'm going to classify that as an immediate danger due to lack of appropriate and diligent maintenance. I will give u a quote for a replacement and my invoice. TA!

nothing wrong with the forum. You get held in a queue to ensure you're not spam. Happens to all newbies.

Even back in 1987 manufacturers told you to get the thing serviced annually. So Gawd knows what the inside of that looks like. As above, immediately dangerous, cap off and new boiler.

But at your age you should qualify for a grant for the government to pay for it.

£2 a mile is a bit steep for a bloke on his bike

Don't think you can classify a RS boiler as ID due to lack of servicing, ok it does need a service haha, but until you confirm a specific fault it cannot be ID over the internet

U want to see my paperwork? GIUSP 10.2

It shows you how great the old baxis were, when manufacturers built boilers to last.
