i posted this on over 50's but thought it might be better here. If you had a boiler fitted 3 years ago that cost altogether for boiler and labour £2,500 and 3 years later you need another one can you claim anything.
Shouldnt a boiler last more than 3 years. It was a veissman combination boiler.

Which Veissman model is it? Who installed it? What is wrong with it?
Who said you 'need' a new one? BG by chance?0 -
Veissman are thought of as a good boiler and I cannot see how you should need a new one in just 3 years.
The main heat exchanger has a 10 year warranty, but will have exclusions in the small print.
The only boilers that I've seen regularly fail at about 3 years are the Ideal Isar/Icos range, due to the heat exchanger leaking.0 -
If you have it installed by approved installer, don't these boilers have 5 years warranty? (I am just getting quotes to install one of these in my house)Spring into Spring 2015 - 0.7/12lb0

Yes they do.0

How has it failed? Is it actually beyond repair?0

I'd have said Sale of goods would cover this, is the firm/person who installed it still around?0

Think not.
We still await the exact problem but generally I agree with you.
If my car fails because I haven’t had the oil or some other service item changed then I rightfully wouldn’t expect any help with it.
If however a non serviceable part failed for reasons unrelated to servicing say as a result of a design or manufacturing defect then I would expect Audi to pick up the bill.
How many serviceable items are there in a boiler?0 -
A boiler is only as good as the system its installed on. If the system wasn't cleaned properly before fitting the new boiler you're gonna have drama's whether you've got a Vmann or a Ravenheat.0

I think the OP needs to clarify its service historyNot Again0
