Piped up Heating Plumbing Gas

09/05/2026

Worcester Greenstar 30Si. Had a water leak from the inlet block on the left hand side.
Replaced the faulty part and gave it a fuller service , not just stick analyser in and go. Changed electrodes and new burner seal. Worcester recommend changing these every 5 years as the seals can leak products of combustion around the top so must be checked with an analyser every service.
Nice and clean now and running spot on.

Also contacted Octopus Energy to swap out the meter and regulator due to corrosion. There was no gas leak , but requires changing.

Make sure you have your boiler serviced to keep you safe and the boiler running tip top. 45 minutes to an hour usually to service.

And always have a carbon monoxide alarm fitted for peace of mind. Installers must supply one with every new gas appliance installation now, apart from cookers or hobs.

Stay safe everyone ! 😉

The importance of flushing a system before connecting it to the new boiler. These magnets were cleaned before the flush was started ! Make sure your Engineer flushes properly , or this crap will go through your new boiler and probably invalidate your warranty when a problem occurs due to a dirt system.

Hi everyone 👋

For those who don’t know me, I’m Ian. I’ve been working in domestic heating, plumbing and gas for 21 years, and honestly—it’s still the reason I get out of bed every morning.

I take real pride in helping people feel safe, warm and comfortable in their homes. Whether it’s a boiler that won’t fire up, a leaking pipe, or a full heating upgrade, I treat every job like it’s in my own house.

I don’t believe in rushing jobs, cutting corners or bamboozling people with jargon. Just honest, reliable work, done properly.

If you or someone you know needs:
✔ Boiler repairs & servicing
✔ Gas safety checks
✔ Heating upgrades
✔ General plumbing

Feel free to drop me a message or give me a call. And thank you to everyone who’s trusted me over the years – your support really does mean everything.

-Ian 🛠️
