New boiler installation in Tividale. Old boilers and back boilers swapped for modern combis, with the gas supply, flue and system cleaning done properly, not skipped.
Three things decide that. The gas supply pipe from the meter, which in older Tividale houses is often too small for a modern appliance. The flue route, which changes depending on whether the boiler stays in the kitchen or moves upstairs. And the state of the existing radiators and pipework, because years of sludge will find its way into a new heat exchanger if the system is not cleaned first.
A survey answers all three and gives you a fixed scope before any work starts. Photos of the current boiler, the gas meter and a couple of radiators cover most of it. Smell gas? Get everyone out, leave the switches alone and call the National Gas Emergency line on 0800 111 999 from outside the house.
Checked from the meter. A modern boiler starved by a 15mm pipe will lock out on the coldest morning of the year, and that is not the boiler's fault.
Taken out, the chimney dealt with and the opening left ready, rather than boarded over and forgotten.
A flush and a filter, so old sludge does not end up in the new appliance.
Kitchen, utility or upstairs: flue, condensate route and noise all change with it. Decided at the survey, not on the day.
Programmer and thermostat set, explained and left working the way the household actually lives.
A straight swap is normally a day. A back boiler removal is two or three, and you are told which before it starts.
Often in Tividale, yes. It is checked at the survey rather than discovered halfway through the installation.
Usually. Moving it upstairs or into a utility is common, and it changes the flue and condensate runs, which is why it is priced at the survey.
Not always. Radiators that flush clean are fine. The ones still cold at the bottom afterwards are the ones worth replacing.
It comes down to bathrooms and how many people want hot water at the same time. One bathroom is usually a combi; two often is not.
Most Tividale swaps are one working day, with hot water back on the same evening wherever the system allows.
The manufacturer's guarantee registration and the building regulations notification for the new appliance.
