How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Flue work must be carried out by a competent, registered engineer.

Engineer actions:

  • Inspect the flue system for correct fall back to the boiler so condensate drains to the trap.
  • Check all flue joints and seals for integrity; replace any damaged seals or sections.
  • Ensure the condensate trap and pipework are clear and correctly connected.
  • Seal any condensate joints with appropriate solvent weld or seals as specified by Worcester Bosch.
