Replacing an old or unreliable boiler
If your boiler keeps breaking down, struggles to provide hot water or needs a costly repair, it is worth comparing repair and replacement. We assess the existing boiler and heating system before discussing the options. A replacement should suit your property and household rather than simply copy the output of the old appliance.
Vaillant boiler installation and a choice of other brands
We have a strong relationship with Vaillant and can discuss a Vaillant boiler for your home. We also install other boiler brands: the recommendation starts with your heating and hot water needs, existing system and budget. If you have a preferred make or model, mention it when enquiring. We explain the proposed boiler, controls, installation work and applicable manufacturer warranty in your quotation.
What affects the cost of a boiler replacement?
The boiler model, installation position, flue route, pipework, controls and any system changes all affect the quote. A like-for-like replacement is a different job from moving the boiler or changing from a cylinder-based system to a combi. Tell us what is currently installed and what you want to change; we provide a written quotation after assessing the work.
Combi, system or regular boiler?
The right choice depends on your hot water use, the number of bathrooms, the existing pipework and available space. A combi provides heating and hot water without a separate hot water cylinder. A system or regular boiler works with stored hot water and may suit a different household demand. We discuss the practical choices for your home during the survey.
Plan the work before the colder weather
If you are considering a replacement ahead of winter, get in touch with your postcode, current boiler make and model, and preferred timing. We confirm the scope and installation programme after a survey. If your boiler has already stopped working, call to check availability and explain that you have no heating or hot water.
Installation, controls and handover
The installation plan covers the boiler, suitable controls and system cleansing. We commission the installation and explain how to operate it. Ask about the manufacturer warranty for the proposed model and its servicing requirements; the terms depend on the boiler selected.
Repair or replacement: choose the appropriate next step
If you are unsure whether a replacement is necessary, start with fault finding. The nature of the fault, parts availability, repair cost and condition of the existing system help inform the decision. Discuss a boiler repair.
What to include in your installation enquiry
Tell us your postcode, current boiler make and model, whether you have a hot water cylinder and whether the boiler will stay in the same position. Mention the number of bathrooms and any planned extension. These details help us prepare for an assessment; the final specification and price follow a review of the property.
Compare the scope, not just the boiler price
Ask your installer to identify the proposed boiler and controls, flue work, pipework alterations, preparation of the heating system, commissioning and handover. Check what the quotation includes and which manufacturer warranty applies. A boiler-only price is not the same as a completed installation quote.

Our boiler installation photographs show appliances and copper pipework, including work during installation. If you are planning a replacement, send your postcode, current boiler make and model, and a description of your heating and hot water needs. We assess the proposed work before providing a written quotation.
