You will not go wrong with:

Vailiant
Intergas
ATAG
Viessmann

But like has been said, the install is everything.

Just need to remove vailant and viessmann from that list and you're spot on 🙂

Yo're right about the plastic, never happy with it long term, I know it is cheaper to make, and moulding into complex shapes is easier. But give me brass any day for a boiler, doesn't go brittle over time, and more intrinsic strength.

Regarding the layout, have you tried servicing the worcesters, or replacing any parts, right pain, and unnecessarily so.

I agree it would be nice to not have every thing plastic but that's the changing world.i do serviced and find that ok but may be down to doing a few i have changed parts on the current ranges but not had the pleasure changing PRV or plate to plate they look a pain.i do prefer to install the cdi if there is room.

Lol, we'll see. Would have to be CDi though, juniors are horrible. What's the deal with that filter anyway? Looks like a UFO.

I tried 1 of there filters and don't like the product

Viessmann - great boilers, only had one problem in maybe 20 that I fitted. Excluding the little issue with RF controls

Worcester Si and CDi - never had any problems but haven't fitted loads, I think alot of their quality come from there clever marketing, Iv heard of gas valve and fan faults from factory. Pretty uncommon though. Still quality boilers

Intergas - only fitted one. Put off by the separate expansion vessel, have to order the one that goes on the back separately. Also the controls look awful.

Ideal logic +. Mostly what I fit now, never had an issue too date, really well made boiler in my opinion. Yet to try an Ideal Vogue.
