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.
In Windsor's listed buildings and conservation areas, the hardest part of a boiler job is often where the flue goes. A new flue on a front wall, or a change to a chimney, may need consent, so check with the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead before you agree a design. Ask each engineer where they'd put the flue and the condensate pipe, and whether a rear or roof flue is possible.
Many of Windsor's period townhouses and terraces have tall rooms, solid walls and old sash windows, so they lose heat quickly. 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. Regular boilers with a hot water cylinder and loft tanks are still common in these homes. In post-war homes in Dedworth, many systems are on their second or third boiler with the original radiators and pipework, where sludge can damage a new boiler unless the system is flushed.
Thames Water supplies Windsor, 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 you live near the Thames, keeping the boiler and controls above likely flood levels can save a lot of trouble.
Every rented home with gas needs a landlord gas safety check every 12 months, and a carbon monoxide alarm in any room with a fixed fuel-burning appliance, such as a gas boiler or gas fire. 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.
Usually, yes, but where the flue and pipework go matters. A flue on a front wall, or a change to a chimney, may need listed building consent, so check with the council before you agree a design.
It can. Limescale builds up in the part of a combi that heats your hot water, and can cut performance and shorten its life. A scale reducer, a magnetic filter and an annual service all help.
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.
