We have a Vokera Linea boiler, age unknown, it's noisy, got a buzzing on start up.
The pressure drops into the red after a couple of days,I'm always topping it up.
A couple of times when I have pressed manual start it's clicked off again so had to retry a couple of times also the furthest away rad never gets truly hot.
Got a price for a new one, an Ideal logic 30kw fitted £2619.
As our boiler is in its own airing cupboard on the landing the flue goes straight up through loft and out middle of roof.
Surveyor guy said we would have to have a new flue and due to access problems (we have a conservatory in the way of ladder access it would be approx. £500 for scaffold up the front of the house this is in the price, not extra).
I haven't had anyone to look at the boiler to fix it, thinking I'd be throwing money at an old boiler, would it be worth it?
I also have no idea on fair prices, if the flue does need replacing and if an Ideal boiler is any good..
I asked about a Worsceter bosch, he said they were exactly the same as an Ideal but 600 quid dearer.
Any tips?
