More information

What a combi boiler installation includes

A planned combi boiler installation covers the full changeover, from assessing your current set up to completing the safety checks and final handover.

  • Home or site survey to confirm the right boiler output and location
  • Advice on suitable models based on hot water demand and heating load
  • Isolation and safe removal of the old boiler and associated components (where required)
  • Installation of the new combi boiler and connections to heating and hot water
  • Condensate and flue set up to meet current safety requirements
  • System flush and inhibitor (as appropriate for the condition of the system)
  • Controls set up, commissioning, testing, and final safety checks
  • Building Regulations compliance steps and completion of required documentation

When this service is right for you

This service suits you if your current boiler is unreliable, inefficient, or no longer economical to repair. It is also a good fit if you want stronger hot water performance, more responsive heating control, or a simpler set up that removes the need for a separate hot water cylinder. Landlords often choose a planned replacement to reduce breakdown risk and support compliance planning.

How the installation works

You start with a survey to confirm sizing, flue route, condensate disposal, gas supply suitability, and the condition of your heating circuit. The installation is then scheduled with a clear scope of work, and the changeover is completed with careful protection of the work area and a tidy finish. Finally, the boiler is commissioned and tested, controls are configured, and the system is checked for safe operation.

After installation: handover and ongoing value

You receive a clear handover on how to use your heating and hot water controls efficiently, plus the key documents for your records. You can then maintain performance and reliability with routine servicing, and address any system balancing or radiator issues that become apparent once the new boiler is running.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know what size combi boiler I need?
Boiler size depends on your hot water demand and heating load, not just the number of bedrooms. A survey checks property size, bathroom count, radiator output, insulation levels, and incoming water flow to recommend the right output.
How long does a combi boiler installation take?
Many straightforward replacements can be completed within one day, but more complex upgrades can take longer. Timescales depend on changes to pipework, flue route, controls, and whether system cleaning work is needed.
Do I need to replace my radiators when fitting a new combi boiler?
Not always, but it is important the existing system is in good condition and correctly sized. During the survey, radiators, valves, and pipework are checked and any recommendations are explained before work starts.
Will the old boiler be removed and disposed of?
Yes, planned installation normally includes removing the existing boiler and taking it away for proper disposal. If there are any unusual access issues or specialist waste requirements, these are confirmed in advance.
What paperwork will I receive after installation?
You should receive commissioning details and the relevant Building Regulations notification. You will also have the manufacturer documentation and warranty information, along with a clear record of the work completed.
