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.
Much of Woodley was built between the 1950s and the 1980s, on and around the old aerodrome. Homes of that age often show their history in the heating. Some still have a back boiler behind a gas fire, and a few have warm-air heating. Many have a regular boiler with a cylinder and tanks in the loft. Replacing a back boiler or warm-air unit means a new boiler, new pipework and often new radiators, so it's a bigger job than a like-for-like swap. Get quotes early rather than waiting for the old system to fail in winter.
Woodley also has a lot of bungalows. In a bungalow the boiler and its pipework are often in the loft or an airing cupboard, and condensate pipes that run outside can freeze in a cold snap and shut a modern boiler down. If yours keeps locking out in freezing weather, ask your engineer to reroute or insulate the condensate pipe.
The water here 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. Signs include hot water that swings between hot and cold, a boiler that bangs, and flow that drops over time. 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
A like-for-like combi swap usually costs £2,200 to £4,000 fitted. Replacing a back boiler, or converting a tank-fed system to a combi, typically costs £3,500 to £5,500, because of the extra pipework and flue work.
It's often a frozen condensate pipe. Pouring warm water, not boiling, over the outside section can clear it. An engineer can reroute or insulate the pipe so it doesn't happen again.
Both are usually old and less efficient than modern boilers, and parts can be hard to find. If yours still works, get it serviced, and plan a replacement before it fails rather than in a winter emergency.
On a combi, it's often a scaled-up plate heat exchanger or a sticking diverter valve. Both are common in hard-water areas, and both are repairable.
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.
