Central Heating Installation in Chatham
Whether you are upgrading an outdated heating system in one of Chatham's older properties, extending radiators into a new conservatory or loft conversion, or installing central heating from scratch in a property that has relied on electric storage heaters, our engineers design and install complete heating systems tailored to your home.
Why Choose Us for Central Heating Installation in Chatham
We have been designing and installing central heating systems in Medway for over 20 years
That experience means we understand the particular challenges of Chatham's housing stock. The Victorian terraces around the town centre, for instance, often have solid walls that require surface-mounted pipework rather than concealed runs. Older properties may have single-skin extensions or poorly insulated lofts that need radiators sized to compensate for heat loss. We factor all of this into our system design.

Our Central Heating Installation Process
Free home survey
We visit your Chatham property to assess the space, take measurements, and understand how you use your home. We calculate the heat loss for each room to determine the correct radiator sizes and boiler output.
System design and quotation
You receive a detailed proposal showing the recommended boiler, radiator positions, pipework routes, and controls. The quote is fully itemised with no hidden costs.
Installation
Depending on the size of the project, installation typically takes 2 to 5 days. We fit the boiler first, then run the pipework and install radiators room by room. We work tidily and protect your home throughout.
Controls and commissioning
We install and programme your heating controls, balance the radiators so every room heats evenly, and commission the boiler to manufacturer specifications.
Handover and aftercare
We walk you through how to use the system, register your boiler warranty, and provide all relevant paperwork. We are always available for follow-up questions.
Central Heating Installation for Chatham Properties
Converting from electric storage heaters
Several older properties in Chatham, particularly ex-council flats and some terraces, still rely on electric storage heaters. Converting to gas central heating typically reduces energy costs significantly and provides far better control over your heating. We handle the full conversion, including any gas supply work.
Extending an existing system
If you have had a loft conversion, conservatory, or extension added to your Chatham home, you may need additional radiators and pipework. We can tap into your existing system and extend it to cover the new space, often without needing to upgrade the boiler.
Full system replacement
Homes built in the 1960s and 70s around the Wayfield and Walderslade estates often have original heating systems with microbore pipework and oversized boilers. Replacing the entire system with modern pipework, correctly sized radiators, and an efficient condensing boiler can transform the comfort and efficiency of your home.
Back boiler removal
Some Chatham properties still have back boilers behind gas fires. These are no longer manufactured and parts are increasingly scarce. We remove the back boiler, cap off the old fireplace opening, and install a modern wall-mounted boiler in a more convenient location.
Pricing guidance
A full central heating installation in a typical Chatham three-bedroom home costs between 3,000 and 5,500, including the boiler, radiators, pipework, and controls. Smaller projects, such as adding radiators to an extension, start from around 600 per radiator installed. We offer finance options to help spread the cost.
