Most of the older Tipton housing was plumbed for a tank in the loft and a cylinder in the airing cupboard, which is why so many swaps here are a conversion rather than a straight change. That is a bigger job than it looks and it is worth having priced properly, with the gas run and the flue route worked out before anybody starts lifting floorboards.

Because Tipton is a hard water area, a new combi boiler here should be fitted with a scale reducer on the incoming water, and the heating water treated with inhibitor. It is a small part of the job, and it decides whether the new boiler still runs as it should in ten years.

Good to know

Before your New Boiler Installation

How long does a new boiler take to fit in Tipton?

A straight swap is a day. A conversion from a tank and cylinder system, which is most of the older housing around Dudley Port and Tibbington, is usually two, there is pipework to rework and the airing cupboard to make good.

Do I have to take the boiler out of the airing cupboard?

Not necessarily, but most people want the space back once they realise they can have it. We will price both so you can see what the cupboard is actually worth to you.

What happens with the paperwork?

We register the installation with Gas Safe and Building Control, and the certificate follows in the post. You do not need to do anything, but keep it, because you will want it when you sell.

Do I need a scale reducer with a new boiler?

In a hard water area it is strongly recommended, and often required, for a combi. Tipton water is hard enough that scale builds up in the heat exchanger within a few years without one.

Does the old system need flushing first?

Usually, yes. Sludge from old radiators and pipework can block a new boiler quickly, and most manufacturers expect the system to be cleaned and treated for the warranty to stand.

What's involved

New Boiler Installation in Tipton: step by step

Combi conversions

Tank and cylinder out, combi in, pipework reworked and the airing cupboard given back. Priced as one job, not as a surprise halfway through.

System and conventional

Where a big house or two bathrooms means a combi is the wrong answer, we will say so and quote the system that actually suits the property.

Fixed written quote

What it costs, what is included and how long it takes, in writing, before you commit.

Old boiler taken away

Removal, disposal and making good is part of the price. The registration is done for you and the paperwork follows.

Scale protection fitted

A scale reducer on the incoming main protects the hot water side of a new combi from hard Tipton water.

System cleaned before fitting

The old system is flushed and dosed with inhibitor, so sludge from old radiators is not carried straight into the new boiler.
