New boilers and heating
Combi, system and regular boiler replacements, radiators, power flushes and magnetic filters.
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.
Many of Maidenhead's Victorian and Edwardian houses, and the large riverside villas, have big rooms, high ceilings and solid walls, so they lose heat quickly. When you replace a boiler in a house like this, a good engineer will size the boiler and radiators to the house and how you use hot water, rather than simply matching the old boiler. Larger homes with two or more bathrooms often suit a system boiler with an unvented cylinder better than a combi.
In later family homes, in areas such as Furze Platt, Cox Green and Woodlands Park, many systems are on their second or third boiler with the original radiators and pipework. Old systems collect sludge, which can damage a new boiler unless the system is flushed. Many still have a hot water cylinder and loft tanks, and a switch to a combi is worth discussing if you have one bathroom.
If you live near the Thames, think about where the boiler and controls sit. Keeping them off the ground floor, or above likely flood levels, can save a lot of trouble.
Thames Water supplies most of Maidenhead, and the water is hard. Limescale builds up fastest where water is heated. In a combi, that means the plate heat exchanger that makes your hot water. Check every new-boiler quote includes scale protection, a magnetic system filter and inhibitor. If your home is listed or in a conservation area, ask where a new flue will go before you agree a design.
Every rented home with gas needs a landlord gas safety check every 12 months. 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. Most boiler warranties need a service every year, so check yours and keep the records.
A like-for-like combi swap usually costs £2,200 to £4,000 fitted. Converting a regular or system boiler to a combi, or moving the boiler, costs more because of the extra pipework and flue work.
Not always. Heat loss through solid walls, single glazing and draughts matters as much as boiler size. A good engineer will work out the heat loss room by room and size the boiler and radiators to match.
Ideally above likely flood levels, away from the ground floor if that's practical. Ask your engineer what's possible for your flue and pipework before you agree a design.
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.
