Genuine question, I thought you cannot install a boiler directly onto ply as it can be a potential fire hazard? I was told if you are installing on ply, to install fire resistant plasterboard onto the ply first.
Fitted one today, finishing off tomorrow. Clip distance a pain, but probably better than a glowworm compact i fitted recently. Not to shabby a boiler 👌
Thanks mate, the selling point with the Worcester is the name, soon as you mention Worcester at a low price it will sell itself, Mains am good boilers thou
Firsr of all thank you for your videos. Nice and neat jobs. I have a question do know if you can help me between Ariston E clas combi and Worcester 1000 wich one do you think is better? PD: Have you worked with BG previously that way to fit the condense reminds me something😂
I work on Ariston’s a lot. E Clas Combi works well. Great Heat Exchanger. Issue is plastic return and flow manifolds leak. If under warranty then it’s covered anyway but doesn’t look good a new boiler leaking 🙈 Customers tend to love the Worcester name so this boiler is an easy choice as happy customer and a good price.
@@johnrutherford49 Thanks mate.I don't really like the aristons,ferrolis or fonditals italian boilers are so cheap for a reason more or less like cars beween fiat punto or BMW wich one you will choose? I just like to know other points of view cause maybe I'm wrong and I need a different approach,but anyway thanks so much
Hi Chris Yeah mate we can service them, check our website to make sure we cover your area, all my contact details am on there if you want to drop me a message 👍
So no more baxi’s? If you compare it against the baxis you fit how does this compare as a long lasting boiler and is their difference in the heat exchanger?
I will still fit baxis, but as a budget boiler the Worcester will sell itself with the name, it’s a big bore stainless so same as baxi 2 and ECA by looks of it, plastic manifolds will have to see about them but it looks good for the price
@@bluebulldog_uk noiceeee are baxis any good I’m just in the middle of which one to get between them two Worcester or baxi :( got a biasi at the moment which is a pain to run with a faulty vessel
@@CAR_SOLUTIONS I’ve always rated baxis to be honest mate, 10 year warranty, filter and filling loop in with the price, lightweight and cupboard fit, pre heated condensate trap to help in the winter with freezing condensates. Worcester am really good don’t get me wrong just a little more expensive, if it’s within your budget a Worcester 8000 is one of the best boilers out there to be honest but is high on price
@@bluebulldog_uk Yeah nice one mate I think I’m going to go for the baxi but I’m in the West Midlands as good as the boiler I need a good plumber aha a good deep flush of the system is also needed want it done once and properly
Here’s an idea Worcester…. If your going to release a new budget boiler why don’t you release a stand off bracket at the same time…or would that make too much sense!
@bluebulldog_uk ive always felt worchester just enjoy goin against the grain, they cant just build somthing simple, they have to over engineer and make it different to everyone else for the sake of it
Budget boiler ? Still more expensive than other budget boiler that include filling loop and brass internals plus they have pipes that are set a clip distance from wall so really don't see how it's a good choice although Worcester have at last not used that dreadful kebab heat exchanger in their latest cheapest boiler
For the price and the name that’s the cheapest you’ll get, agree plastic inside is a bit of a concern but the name sells itself to customers and the after care Worcester offer is good
Need to start wearing a mask to be honest, I’m same with ear defenders and gloves thou just seem to crack on with job instead of taking 2 mins to use PPE
Ive just had one off these fitted... It took 2 guys 5 hrs to remove old one and install one of these and they charged me £3000 cash... I think ive been robbed...
The PRV/blow off is he biggest PITA on these!! Daft wee Nut & tight in the corner😡😡 A great wee boiler, but Gas Cock & Valves are too far forward. Trying to fit it in a cupboard is impossible, the pipes are just too low!! Whooshitter Botch are crap boilers, but this is one of their best.

@@grimawormtongue2014 Its a room sealed appliance, in the gas regulation you can install a room sealed appliances onto plywood👌🏽

I'm a huge Worcester Bosch boiler fan. This was a really interesting review and packed full of "workarounds". Well done Luke.
Thanks mate much appreciated 👍
Good job guys ❤
Well done Luke. You have made best of a not so ideal situation.❤
Well done Chris ❤😂😂😂 boiler looks a decent bit of kit! Great job boys!
I do graft when I ain’t holding a camera 😂
Good video pal, nice & tidy 👍🏻
Thanks mate
Good videos mate I'm semi retired from the traid but still like to keep my hand in .Michael
Thanks mate 🙌👍
Looking really good, good job you had Chris to fit it 😂😂
😂😂 he took over for the day 😅
Nice work. Tidy install. Question, shouldn’t the conny go into solvent weld pipe not push fit? Keep up the good work👍🏼
Great video, like you said the name will sell that.
Definitely only have to mention the name and when you say the price you can fit for, sells itself 👍
Fitted one today, finishing off tomorrow. Clip distance a pain, but probably better than a glowworm compact i fitted recently. Not to shabby a boiler 👌
Lads I’ve spoke to said same about clip distance but for a budget Worcester it’s decent 👍
what didnt you like about the compact? i fit loads and they're great
Great video guys. Any footage of installing the vertical flue flashing? I’ve never done one and can’t see much online
Sorry mate I thought I had filmed it but when I did edit realise I hadn’t, next time I do one il make sure I film it
Good job well done, but for me my budget boiler is still the Main eco compact its cheaper then that worcester, excellent job on vertical flue
Thanks mate, the selling point with the Worcester is the name, soon as you mention Worcester at a low price it will sell itself, Mains am good boilers thou
Hi, can you please advise which wireless thermostat control have you used for this boiler? thanks
what are them there trousers? and why am they got a zip in the back, thought they were for sparkies only?
Need help with this boiler, my pressure has dropped and I can't see where to fill it.
Firsr of all thank you for your videos. Nice and neat jobs. I have a question do know if you can help me between Ariston E clas combi and Worcester 1000 wich one do you think is better?
PD: Have you worked with BG previously that way to fit the condense reminds me something😂
Worcester all the way…not had very nice experiences with Aristons so I stay away from them, yes mate 8 years at BG, does show sometimes in my videos 😂

Hi
New subscriber,just a quick question, do you service intergas combi boiler's? and if you do how much would it cost approx please.
Thankyou
Hi Chris
Yeah mate we can service them, check our website to make sure we cover your area, all my contact details am on there if you want to drop me a message 👍
I’ve a smaller 4 bed detached would you go for this in 30kw or 4000 30kw? This works out about £600 cheaper. Thanks
How many bathrooms and people?

Nice looking boiler, but the overuse of plastic just looks like trouble in the years ahead for the customer.
That is one of my concerns with the new Worcester but they have assured me when I went up to Worcester it is tough but time will tell I suppose
I'm sure they did haha! Just looks like a part designed to fail, again. Good vid
@@delboy6384 I want to stay positive 😂 hopefully they will be ok
🤣🤣🤣🤣👍🏻
Here’s an idea Worcester…. If your going to release a new budget boiler why don’t you release a stand off bracket at the same time…or would that make too much sense!
That would of helped a lot on this job 😅
Am not in a rush to fit one, them straight service valves are a joke
How come you don’t like the valves mate?
@@bluebulldog_uk ive never found down facing service valves very neat , seem to waste a lot of room
@@accesszero4803 when you have a stand off bracket you will have to bring them down and back up behind as well so not the best for that either.
@bluebulldog_uk ive always felt worchester just enjoy goin against the grain, they cant just build somthing simple, they have to over engineer and make it different to everyone else for the sake of it
@@accesszero4803 the PRV is easy to fit least they sorted that bit out 😅
Look like Baxi Main eco

What kW is your boiler? And was it just a straight swap?
Was the guy wearing a stripy jumper and mask?
You will never make a bricky
Absolutely spot on…not my strong point 😂👍👍
The SAE would fail ya for no gloves pal😂
Don’t miss them days 😂
