Boiler Installation Sidmouth

Yes, though it takes more planning than a standard swap. Replacing a boiler inside the house is usually simple. A new flue through a listed front wall is a different matter, so we hunt for a hidden route first and tell you if consent is likely before you commit to anything.

It can, and it's one of the jobs we quote most often on 1960s and 70s bungalows. We take out the old unit, make the fireplace safe and fit a modern boiler somewhere sensible, often the kitchen or utility. Our page on back boiler replacement walks through it.

On the front row, it can. Salt gets at flue terminals and outside pipework and speeds up corrosion. A street or two back the effect drops off sharply, but the wind doesn't, so we still keep the terminal sheltered and the condensate pipe protected from frost.

Often, yes, and it suits bungalows with small kitchens. The loft needs a fixed ladder, a boarded walkway to the boiler, a light and enough room around it for an engineer to work safely. We check the flue route out through the roof and whether the pipework can reach the loft without lifting floors in the rooms below.

For a house that sits empty for weeks, they are. A smart thermostat lets you keep frost protection running, warm the house up before you get home and see on your phone if the heating has dropped out. We fit smart thermostats alongside new boilers, so the controls and boiler are set up together.
