Service Overview

What it is.
Who it's for.
Why it matters.

What it is

A full boiler installation, strip-out of the old unit, replacement boiler supplied and fitted, system flushed, controls upgraded, certificate issued and registered with the manufacturer for the longest possible warranty.

Who it's for

Homeowners replacing an aged or unreliable boiler, anyone moving from a conventional to a combi system, and households upgrading from gas to a smart-controlled high-efficiency setup.

When you need it

If your boiler is over 12 years old, breaking down annually, costing more to repair than to run, or has visible corrosion/leaks. Installing in spring or autumn avoids winter emergency premiums.

Why professional matters

A bad installation is the single biggest cause of boiler problems over the next decade. The boiler is half the job, the system flush, gas supply sizing, condensate routing, controls and commissioning are where most installers cut corners. We don't.

What Happens If You Leave It

The cost of doing nothing
is always higher than acting.

Repeated repair bills

Three £300 repairs a year on a 14-year-old boiler is £900 spent on a unit that's still going to fail soon. That's most of a new install.

Energy bills climbing

A 70%-efficient old boiler costs £400+/year more than a new 94%-efficient one on a typical 3-bed home.

Bad install = decade of grief

Wrong-sized boiler, unflushed system, poor controls, you'll pay for it in breakdowns, lukewarm radiators and lost warranty cover.

Out-of-warranty surprises

Once your boiler is past warranty, a single major repair (heat exchanger, PCB) can hit £1,000+. New installs come with up to 10 years of cover.

Our Process

A clear, step-by-step system.

No surprises, no shortcuts, the same proven workflow on every job.

01

Free home survey

We visit, assess the property, listen to what you actually need and measure for correct boiler sizing, no guesswork, no upsell.

Fixed-price written quote

Three options where possible: good, better, best. Quote held for 30 days.

03

Installation day(s)

Old boiler removed, system power-flushed, new boiler fitted to manufacturer spec, condensate routed, controls installed.

04

Commissioning & testing

Full benchmark commissioning, combustion analysis, gas pressure test, controls paired, water heating verified.

05

The Benefits

Why the right engineer
changes the outcome.

Up to 10-year warranty on new boilers

Worcester Bosch, Vaillant and Ideal extended manufacturer warranties on new boiler installs we fit and register.

Up to 94% efficiency

Modern A-rated boilers cut typical gas bills by 20–30% vs pre-2010 units.

Installs in 1–2 days

Boiler installs are typically completed in 1–2 days, with straight swaps as quick as a single day.

Power-flush included

Magnetite sludge removed before the new boiler is fitted. Skip this and the new install fails early, most do.

Smart controls fitted

Hive, Nest or Tado included on most installs. Heating you can run from your phone.

The Detail

What we'd tell a friend before they booked.

Installing a boiler is not the same job as fitting one. The unit on the wall is maybe 40% of what determines how long it lasts. The other 60% is what happens to the system around it, and that's where most installations quietly fail.

01

Combi, system or regular, which is right for you

Combi boilers suit most 1–3 bedroom homes with 1–2 bathrooms; they take cold water from the mains and heat it on demand, no cylinder, no tank. System boilers feed an unvented cylinder and suit larger homes (3+ bathrooms) where multiple taps and showers might run simultaneously.

Regular (heat-only) boilers work with a tank in the loft and a hot water cylinder, traditionally found in older properties, sometimes worth keeping, sometimes worth converting. We assess and recommend based on your incoming mains pressure, hot water usage pattern, property size and budget.

02

What a proper installation includes

Pre-install: chemical flush or full power flush, gas pipework upsize if required (most older properties need 22mm to the boiler, not 15mm), filter installation (magnetic filter is a manufacturer requirement now for warranty), condensate route to a frost-proof termination, plume kit if neighbour proximity demands it. Install: boiler hung to manufacturer spec, gas tightness test, system pressurisation, expansion vessel pre-charge, isolation valves on every connection.

Commissioning: benchmark book filled in, flue gas analysis, full cycle test, hot water flow test, controls paired. Registration: boiler registered online with the manufacturer within 30 days to activate the full warranty.

03

Brands we install and why

Worcester Bosch (10-year warranty available, best parts availability in the UK, our most popular install), Vaillant (10-year warranty available, German build quality, excellent reliability), Ideal (7-year warranty, strong value, made in Hull). All three are at the top of Which?

reliability tables and all three have engineers nationwide if you ever need warranty work outside our area. We'll quote alternatives if you specifically want them, but those three are what we'd put in our own homes.

04

Grants and what affects price

New boiler installs are priced from £1,950 + VAT, with the final figure depending on boiler choice, conversion complexity and any system upgrades needed. The ECO4 grant scheme may cover the full install for qualifying low-income households or those on certain benefits, and we'll tell you straight whether you qualify and handle the paperwork if you do.

No commission-driven push toward expensive options: we quote the boiler that fits the home.
