Boiler Installation

What a New Boiler Really Costs

Let's start with the question everyone actually wants answered. The price of a new boiler in Bexhill depends on three things: the type of boiler (combi, system or regular), the brand and model you choose, and how much of the existing pipework and flue can be reused. A simple like-for-like combi swap sits at the lower end of the range, while converting an older gravity-fed system to a modern combi is a bigger job and priced accordingly.

What you will never get from us is a vague estimate that grows. We survey the property free of charge and put a fixed price in writing before you decide anything.

Right-Sizing for Bungalows and Older Homes

Bexhill-on-Sea has a large stock of Edwardian houses and single-storey bungalows, and both are frequently given oversized boilers by installers who do not bother to measure. An oversized boiler short-cycles, wastes gas and wears out sooner. We calculate what your home actually needs based on radiators, hot water demand and insulation, and recommend accordingly.

For bungalows, flue routing is usually simple and installations are quick. For older houses still running a regular boiler with loft tanks, we will give you a straight comparison between replacing like-for-like and converting to a combi, including what each means for your water pressure and your budget.

Hastings & East Sussex

Fitted by Accredited Engineers, Backed by Big Brands

We are Worcester accredited installers and registered Ideal Connect installers, and we also fit Vaillant and other major brands. Those accreditations mean the manufacturers have audited our workmanship, and on selected boilers they allow us to offer longer warranties than standard.

Every installation includes removal of the old boiler, a system cleanse, a magnetic filter where appropriate, full commissioning and warranty registration. Coastal towns are hard on external fittings, so we choose flue positions and materials with the sea air in mind.

What Happens on the Day

We arrive when we say we will, protect carpets and worktops, and get the old boiler out before lunchtime on most jobs. The new boiler goes in, the system is flushed and refilled with inhibitor, and we test everything thoroughly before handing over.

A straightforward swap is normally finished in a day, and we do not leave until you know how to work the controls and top up the pressure yourself.

Help & Advice

Frequently Asked Questions

How much is a new combi boiler in Bexhill-on-Sea?

A like-for-like combi swap is the most affordable route, with system conversions and relocations costing more. Rather than quote a meaningless number over the phone, we visit free of charge, check the property and give you a fixed written price. That price does not change once agreed.

Is it worth replacing a boiler that still works?

If your boiler is over 12 to 15 years old, it is likely running well below the efficiency of a modern condensing boiler, and spares become harder to source. If it works but drinks gas or needs repairs every winter, replacement often pays for itself. If it is younger and healthy, we will tell you to keep it.

Do you install boilers in bungalows?

Frequently. Bexhill has plenty of them, and they are usually straightforward jobs with short flue runs. The key is sizing the boiler correctly for a single-storey layout rather than defaulting to an oversized model.

How long does the installation take?

Most direct swaps are completed within a single working day, with heating and hot water back on that evening. Conversions from a regular boiler to a combi typically take two to three days. We confirm the timescale in your quote.

Which brands can I choose from?

Worcester Bosch, Vaillant and Ideal are our core brands, and we can supply and fit other major manufacturers on request. As Worcester accredited and Ideal Connect registered installers, we can access longer warranty terms on selected models.

Will my new boiler come with a warranty?

Yes, every boiler we fit carries a manufacturer warranty, which we register on your behalf. Our accreditations can extend that cover on certain models. An annual service keeps the warranty valid, and we can take care of that each year too.

Do you take the old boiler away?

Yes, disposal of the old boiler and any redundant tanks or cylinders is part of the job. We tidy up properly, and you will not find a pile of old copper in your garden when we leave.

My water pressure is not great. Does that rule out a combi?

Not automatically, but it matters, because a combi heats water straight off the mains. We measure your flow and pressure during the free survey. If they are genuinely poor, we will say so and recommend a system boiler with a cylinder instead of letting you buy the wrong product.

Are you Gas Safe registered?

Yes. All gas work is carried out by Gas Safe registered engineers, as the law requires. You can ask to see registration details before any work begins.

Does sea air really affect boilers in Bexhill?

It affects the external parts, mainly flues, brackets and outside pipework, which corrode faster near the coast. We fit with that in mind, choosing sensible flue positions and protecting condensate pipes against winter freezing on exposed walls.

Do you cover the whole of Bexhill-on-Sea?

Yes, all of Bexhill and the surrounding area. We are based in Hastings, a short drive along the coast, and we also install boilers in St Leonards-on-Sea and Rye.
