How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Flue and combustion work must be performed by a Gas Safe engineer. Do not modify the flue yourself.

Engineer checks:

  • Inspect the entire flue system for correct assembly, secure joints, and intact seals.
  • Verify that terminal clearances and orientation comply with Worcester Bosch installation instructions.
  • Check for signs of condensate leakage or pooling in the flue; ensure the condensate trap and pipework are clear.
  • Perform a combustion analysis and rectify any issues with the gas/air ratio.
