How Afterglow Repaired a Faulty Worcester Bosch Boiler in Yardley, Birmingham
At Afterglow Plumbing & Heating, we regularly help homeowners across Birmingham with boiler and heating issues. One recent callout in Yardley, on Yardley Wood Road, involved a Worcester Bosch boiler that had stopped working, leaving the customer without heating or hot water during a cold spell.
The Call-Out
The customer noticed that their heating and hot water had stopped working completely and called us for urgent help. Thanks to our local coverage across Yardley, Stechford, Acocks Green, and surrounding areas, one of our Gas Safe engineers was on site within a few hours.
Upon inspection, the boiler’s circulating pump and pressure relief valve were not functioning correctly. This was causing low pressure and intermittent heating — a common issue in boilers that have not been serviced or maintained regularly.
The Repair
Our engineer replaced the faulty pump and pressure relief valve, checked all pipework and connections, and re-pressurised the system. We ran multiple test cycles to ensure the boiler was heating efficiently and that hot water was consistent throughout the property.
The customer was impressed with the fast, professional service. They commented on how reassuring it was to have a local plumber and heating engineer in Yardley who explained the repair process clearly and left everything tidy.
Why Regular Boiler Repairs Matter
Even high-quality boilers, like Worcester Bosch, Baxi, Vaillant, Ideal, Viessmann, and Glow-worm, can develop faults over time. Common problems include:
- Faulty pumps and valves
- Sludge or limescale build-up in the system
- Pressure loss
- Worn thermostats or electrical faults
Regular servicing and prompt repairs can extend your boiler’s life, maintain efficiency, and keep your warranty valid.
