When are my bins going to be collected?
You will need to contact your Local Council to find out about household bin collections. If you live in a block you can find out the bin collection day by checking the estate notice board or contacting your Neighbourhood Manager. If you're unsure who your Neighbourhood Manager is or how to contact them, then visit our Neighbourhood Manager page to find out.
Please note that waste must be disposed of in the correct bin otherwise the Council may not collect them. If you are unsure about which bins to use for different types of waste (landfill, recycling, food waste) please contact your Neighbourhood Manager.
What do I do if my condensate pipe is frozen?
This video from Bosch/Worcester can help you safely unfreeze your boiler’s condensate pipe, allowing you to reset the boiler without the need to call out an engineer. If you have a burst pipe or a leak in your home make sure you turn off the water supply as soon as possible, using the stopcock, and call us. This will reduce the risk of water damage. For further guidance, please visit our advice during cold weather page.
What should I do if I have damp or mould in my home?
