Replacing a boiler in a city built long before central heating
Boiler installations and replacements in Bath are rarely a straight swap. Many homes here are tall, solid-stone townhouses or terraces in Widcombe, Larkhall, Oldfield Park and Bathwick, and many have been split into flats. Pipework runs through old chimney breasts, cupboards and cellars, and the boiler is often squeezed into a space that was never designed for one.
So we start by looking at the house, not just the boiler. We check where the old unit sits, how the flue can exit, how many bathrooms need hot water and what the pipework is like. Then we recommend a combi, system or regular boiler that suits the property.
If you're in a listed building or a conservation area, tell us at the start. External flues can need extra checks with the council, and it's better to know before the new boiler arrives.
The details that matter in a Bath property
A boiler matched to the house
A compact combi often suits a flat or a one-bathroom terrace. A tall townhouse with several bathrooms may be better with a system boiler and cylinder. We explain the options in plain English.
Flue routes planned around stone and neighbours
Solid Bath stone walls, shared passages and close neighbours limit where a flue can go. We plan the route and terminal position to meet the manufacturer's instructions and current regulations.
Protection against hard water and old sludge
Bath is a hard water area, and older systems hold years of sludge. We fit a magnetic filter and check the system, so the new boiler isn't working against debris from the old one.
Old kit removed, floors protected
We lay dust sheets, take the old boiler away and leave the space tidy. We also commission the new boiler and show you the controls before we go.
From survey to sign-off, one clear route
Most replacements are done in a day or two. Bigger changes, such as moving the boiler, take longer and we say so beforehand.

Survey and written quote
We look at the existing boiler, flue, gas pipe, controls and radiators. You get a transparent quote that lists what's included, so there are no surprises on the day.

Parking and access sorted
Many Bath streets have steep gradients and resident parking. Tell us about permits and access, and we'll plan deliveries and where the van goes.

Removal, fitting and flushing
We isolate the system, remove the old boiler and fit the new one. We then clean or flush the system as needed and fit the magnetic filter.

Commissioning and handover
We test the gas connection and the flue, then check the heating and hot water. We register the installation as required and explain how to use the controls.
Every boiler we fit in Bath is installed by Gas Safe registered engineers and backed by a 5-year workmanship guarantee.
Boiler replacement questions from Bath homeowners
Can you fit a boiler in a listed building or conservation area?
Often yes, but the flue is the sticking point. An external flue on a listed property may need consent, so check with the council early. We can advise on the likely flue position and help you plan.
Will a combi boiler work in my tall Bath townhouse?
It depends on how many bathrooms you run at once and on the incoming water supply. For several bathrooms, a system boiler with a cylinder can be the better choice. We assess this at the survey.
Is hard water a problem for a new boiler?
Limescale can build up in the heat exchanger and pipework over time. A magnetic filter and a clean system help protect the boiler. We can talk through further protection for your home.
Can you move my boiler to a different room?
Usually, yes. It means new pipework, a new flue route and sometimes a new condensate drain. In older stone houses that takes planning, so we price it separately and explain it clearly.
How do I know the work is legal and safe?
We're Gas Safe registered, and you can check any engineer's ID card. We also test the installation before we leave and explain what we've done.
