Gas work is not a DIY job. By law, anyone working on your boiler, gas fire or hob must be on the Gas Safe Register. Before they start, ask to see their Gas Safe ID card and check the back to confirm they're qualified for your type of appliance.
Bearsted's oldest homes, around The Green and Church Lane, are timber-framed houses dating from the 15th to 18th centuries, and the historic core is covered by two conservation areas. In homes like these, the hardest part of a boiler job is often where the flue and pipework go. A new flue on a front wall, or a flue cut through an old timber frame, may need consent. If your home is listed, check with Maidstone Borough Council before agreeing a design, and look for an engineer who has worked on period properties. Older houses with solid walls and draughty windows lose heat quickly, so a good engineer will size the boiler and radiators to the house rather than simply matching the old boiler.
In Madginford, most homes were built in the 1960s, and many are now on their second or third boiler but still have their original radiators and pipework. Old systems collect sludge, which can damage a new boiler unless the system is flushed. Many also still have a hot water cylinder and loft tanks, and a switch to a combi or a system boiler is worth discussing when the boiler is replaced.
Bearsted's water is hard, and limescale builds up fastest where water is heated. In a combi, that means the plate heat exchanger that makes your hot water, which can cause hot water that swings between hot and cold, or a boiler that bangs. Check every new-boiler quote includes scale protection, a magnetic system filter and inhibitor.
When comparing quotes, check the boiler make and model, the warranty and what keeps it valid, and whether the system will be flushed. Reviews on Trade Pilot come from real, invoiced jobs. If you smell gas, leave the property, turn off the gas at the meter if it's safe to do so, and call 0800 111 999.

Frequently Asked Questions
Usually £80 to £150. Many boiler warranties need a service every year, so check yours. Booking in late summer or early autumn, before the winter rush, is often easier.
Usually, yes, but where the flue and pipework go matters. A flue through an outside wall or an old timber frame may need listed building consent, so check with Maidstone Borough Council before you agree a design.
Not always. Many can stay, but the system should be cleaned, usually with a flush, and protected with a magnetic filter and inhibitor so sludge doesn't damage the new boiler.
Ask to see their Gas Safe ID card and check the back, which lists the types of gas work they're qualified to do. You can also check them on the Gas Safe Register website.
