Conventional Boiler Installation
A conventional (heat-only) boiler installation is a planned upgrade or replacement that restores dependable heating and hot water in homes and small premises with a hot water cylinder. The service focuses on correct boiler selection, safe installation, and thorough commissioning so the system runs efficiently and meets current UK safety and building requirements.

What the service covers
A conventional boiler installation is designed to deliver reliable performance and a clean handover, with minimal disruption.
Typically, the service includes:
- A pre-install assessment of your existing boiler, cylinder, controls and pipework
- Advice on suitable boiler output and compatibility with your current system
- Safe isolation and removal of the old boiler (and related components where agreed)
- Installation of the new heat-only boiler and connection to heating and hot water circuits
- Upgrades to key safety parts where required (for example, valves, condensate routing, flue components)
- Commissioning, performance checks and system balancing
- Gas Safe sign-off and relevant compliance paperwork
- A clear walk-through of controls, settings and basic user care
Who this service is for
This is usually the right choice if:
- Your property has a hot water cylinder and cold water storage tanks
- You want to keep the existing conventional system layout
- Your current boiler is failing, inefficient, or no longer economical to repair
- You are renovating and need a planned, compliant boiler replacement
- You are a landlord or facilities lead needing reliable, document-ready work
How installation is delivered
Work normally follows clear stages:
- Site survey and checks: system type, flue route, ventilation, gas supply, pressure and controls.
- Installation day: protect the work area, isolate services, remove old equipment and fit the new boiler.
- Commissioning: test gas tightness, set up the boiler, verify hot water and heating operation, and confirm safe flue performance.
- Handover: explain controls, outline what to monitor, and provide required documentation.
Timing depends on access, condition of existing pipework, and whether controls or associated parts need updating.
After the installation
You get a system that has been tested and set up correctly, plus the documents you need for records, insurance, and lettings. To protect efficiency and reliability, plan routine servicing and address any early warning signs such as pressure drops, unusual noise, or uneven radiator heating.
