Boiler Installation You Can Rely On

A new boiler is a major upgrade that affects your comfort, energy bills, and hot water every day. Our boiler installation service is designed to make the process simple, safe, and predictable, from selecting the right unit to commissioning and aftercare. Whether your old boiler has failed or you are planning a more efficient heating setup, we install modern systems with careful attention to workmanship and compliance.

Helping You Choose the Right Boiler

Before we install anything, we take time to understand your property and your expectations. The right boiler depends on your home size, number of bathrooms, hot water usage, insulation levels, and existing pipework. We guide you through suitable options, explain running costs, and outline what changes may be needed to achieve the best results.

Combi, system, or regular boiler

  • Combi boilers are compact and supply hot water on demand, ideal for many homes with limited space.
  • System boilers work with a hot water cylinder and suit higher demand or multiple bathrooms.
  • Regular boilers are often used where traditional systems exist, especially with older pipework and tanks.

If your project also includes related home upgrades, we can coordinate timelines with other trades. For example, where new power supplies are required for heating controls or associated appliances, you may also need electrical installation services as part of the wider plan.

Our Boiler Installation Process

We follow a clear, step by step approach so you know what to expect. Every home is different, but the fundamentals stay the same, careful preparation, clean workmanship, and thorough testing.

  1. Site survey and quotation to confirm boiler type, location, flue route, and any upgrades required.
  2. Safe isolation of relevant services and protection of floors and work areas.
  3. Removal of the old boiler and responsible disposal where applicable.
  4. Installation of the new boiler including pipe connections, flue, condensate, and required valves.
  5. System preparation such as flushing or cleaning when recommended to protect your new boiler.
  6. Commissioning with pressure checks, combustion and performance checks, and control setup.
  7. Handover with clear guidance on how to operate your heating and hot water efficiently.

We work carefully to minimise disruption and we aim to leave your home tidy at the end of each day. If access is tight or the boiler location needs adjustment, we will explain the options before work begins so there are no surprises.

Safety, Compliance, and Quality Checks

A boiler must be installed to the correct standards for safe operation and long term reliability. We prioritise proper flue installation, ventilation requirements, correct condensate routing, and secure pipework connections. We also verify system pressure, check for leaks, and ensure your heating controls operate correctly.

Modern boiler systems often include smart thermostats, zone controls, pumps, and motorised valves. In some cases, electrical work is needed to support these components, particularly if a dedicated supply or upgraded wiring is required. Where that applies, we can help you arrange safe appliance installation support for associated electrical connections, testing, and commissioning.

  • Commissioning checks to confirm performance and stable operation.
  • Control setup so timers, temperatures, and zones match how you live.
  • System protection guidance, including filters and inhibitor where suitable.

Boiler Replacement and Upgrades

Many installations are straightforward replacements, but upgrades can offer better comfort and efficiency. If your old boiler struggles to keep up, we can recommend a higher output unit, improved controls, or a better layout for faster hot water delivery. If you are renovating, we can also advise on relocating the boiler to optimise space, access, and flue routing.

For homes with additional appliances being installed during a renovation, such as a new cooker or extractor, it can be helpful to schedule qualified support for appliance connection services alongside your boiler work. Coordinated planning helps reduce downtime and avoids repeat visits.

What to Expect on Installation Day

We arrive with the materials and tools needed for the agreed scope of work. We confirm the plan with you, protect the work area, and keep you informed as the installation progresses. Once the boiler is commissioned, we walk you through the controls, show you key isolation points, and explain simple checks you can do, such as monitoring pressure if your system requires it.

After installation, we remain available if you have questions about settings, noise, heat up times, or how to use your heating more efficiently. Our goal is not just to fit a boiler, but to ensure you feel confident and comfortable using it.

FAQ

How do I know which boiler type is right for my home?

It depends on hot water demand, property size, and your existing system. During a survey we assess usage and layout, then recommend a combi, system, or regular boiler that matches your needs and budget.

Will my heating system need flushing before a new boiler is installed?

If the system has sludge, debris, or poor circulation, a flush is often recommended to protect the new boiler and improve efficiency. We will advise based on the condition of your radiators, pipework, and current performance.

How long does a typical boiler replacement take?

Many like for like replacements can be completed in one day, while relocations or major upgrades may take longer. We confirm the expected duration after the site survey and outline any factors that could affect timing.
