How long does a boiler installation take?

A straight swap is usually done in a day. A conventional-to-combi conversion typically takes 2 days.

Can you install quickly if my boiler has died completely?

Yes — no-heat households get priority. Once you accept a quote we aim to install within days, and we can often supply temporary heaters in the meantime.

Do I need a power flush with a new boiler?

If your system shows sludge, yes — and most manufacturer warranties require the system to be cleaned at installation. We'll check during the survey and only quote it if it's needed.

Will you register the warranty and notify Building Standards?

Yes, both are handled as part of every installation, with the Benchmark checklist completed and left with you.

What affects the price of a new boiler

No two installs cost the same. The main factors:

Boiler type and brand

Combi vs system vs conventional, and the brand and warranty tier you choose.

Straight swap vs conversion

Like-for-like replacement is cheapest; conventional-to-combi involves more pipework and labour.

Flue and siting changes

Moving the boiler to a new location adds cost.

System condition

A sludged system needs a power flush to protect the new boiler — and most manufacturer warranties require it.
