Duckegg Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Hi We have a Baxi combi. Just recently the hot water tap in the kitchen doesn't fire up the boiler (occasionally it does). The central heating works fine and upstairs tap still gets hot. The water flow from the kitchen tap seems ok, not slow or anything. Hopefully it's something simple? Thanks Duckegg Hi-Just bumping this up as didn't get any replies and upstairs tap now is affected too. Do I need someone to look at it or is it an easy thing please? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dongle Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Looking for recommendations and cost to service a system boiler, just moved in and the previous owner couldn't supply evidence of any services carried out, so no idea when it was last done.

gamezone07 Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 I am a tenant and my boiler keeps stopping in this extreme cold weather, i have read it could be the pipe freezing outide the house, is this correct, if so it would be hard to get to to it, tbh. It is not brilliant even during normal weather, banging noises, etc, it is a seven year old Combi boiler. so, no heating or hot water in this weather, crazy.

Jon26 Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 I am a tenant and my boiler keeps stopping in this extreme cold weather, i have read it could be the pipe freezing outide the house, is this correct, if so it would be hard to get to to it, tbh. It is not brilliant even during normal weather, banging noises, etc, it is a seven year old Combi boiler. so, no heating or hot water in this weather, crazy. If its the condensate pipe then its usually a plastic pipe which exits the wall just below the boiler. Can you see such a pipe from outside the property? Warm (not boiling) water will defrost it. in the last cold spell my mums had a huge icicle around 5 foot long hanging from it at a joint where it entered a wider bore pipe. Fortunately I insulated it yesterday morning and theres no icicle today. If you're a tenant I'd say this is one for the landlord. I much prefer my old balanced flue floor standing boiler with thicker metal and minimal technology Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aezah Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Would you advise me on the new boiler?it's for tenantsso not the hard one to manage.something reasonable and easy to maintain. I have hot water cylinder in cupboard should I go with the boiler without having the hot water cylinder. regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gord115 Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 My son is buying a house and he may need a new boiler fitting. He knows the boiler he wants (Worcester Bosch) but will need it fitting. Any good honest plumber recommendations please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
