What's involved

New Boiler Installation in Darlaston, step by step

Straight swaps and full conversions

A like-for-like change in a Darlaston terrace is a day. Moving from a back boiler or a tank system is a bigger job and we price it as one from the start.

Back boilers taken out properly

Plenty of Darlaston houses still have one behind the fire. Removing it means making good the chimney breast as well as the pipework, and that is in the quote.

Where the boiler should actually go

Kitchen, utility or upstairs - it changes the flue, the condensate and the noise. We will say which suits the house rather than which is quickest to fit.

Paperwork handled

Gas Safe and Building Control notification done for you, certificate posted out. Keep it - a buyer’s solicitor will ask for it.

Plume kits where needed

The exhaust is directed away from neighbouring windows and paths in close-packed terraces.

Gas fires capped off safely

An old gas fire removed along with a back boiler is capped off safely and the fireplace made good.

In the Darlaston terraces the boiler is often in a kitchen that has been reworked twice since it was fitted, and the flue route is the thing that decides what is actually possible. Worth having that worked out and priced before anybody starts, not discovered on the day.

In a tight Darlaston terrace the flue often faces a neighbouring window or a narrow passage, where the steam from a modern boiler becomes a nuisance. A plume kit can carry the exhaust to a better position, and whether one is needed is decided at the survey, not after the neighbours complain.

Good to know

What people ask about New Boiler Installation

We still have a back boiler - what is involved?

More than a swap. The unit comes out from behind the fire, the chimney breast is made good and the system is reworked for a modern boiler. It is usually two days and we quote it as a whole job so nothing appears halfway through.

Should the boiler move out of the kitchen?

Sometimes. A utility or a bedroom cupboard is quieter and frees a kitchen cupboard, but it lengthens the flue and condensate runs. We will price both and tell you which we would do.

How disruptive is it in a small terrace?

Water off for most of the day and one room out of use. In a Darlaston terrace there is not much room to work around, so we sheet up, work in one go and leave it clean rather than spreading it over a week.

What is a plume kit?

An extension fitted to a boiler flue that carries the exhaust steam away from a window, door or narrow passage. In tightly packed terraces it keeps the flue within the rules and stops the plume drifting into neighbouring homes.

Can the old gas fire come out at the same time?

Yes. When a back boiler is removed the fire in front of it usually goes too, and the gas supply to it is capped safely. The fireplace can then be made good or left ready for a new fire.
