Boiler Installation in Gillingham
Gillingham is one of Medway's largest towns, stretching from the residential streets around Napier Road and Woodlands Road in the west through to the more modern developments near Hempstead Valley in the east, with Gillingham Business Park and the established neighbourhoods of Brompton and Twydall filling in between.
Why Choose Us for Boiler Installation in Gillingham
Our experience across Gillingham's housing stock gives us a practical advantage
We know that the 1930s semis around Napier Road typically have their boilers in the kitchen, with the flue exiting through the rear wall, and that moving the boiler to the utility room or garage often makes sense when replacing an old back boiler. We know that the post-war housing in Twydall can have narrow pipework that benefits from a system upgrade at the same time as the boiler replacement. This kind of local knowledge saves time and prevents problems.
We are accredited installers for all major boiler brands: Worcester Bosch, Vaillant, Viessmann, Baxi, and Ideal
Being accredited means we can offer the maximum manufacturer warranty available, up to 12 years on selected models. We also offer interest-free finance on many installations, making it easier to invest in a quality boiler without a large upfront payment.
Every installation includes a free home survey where we assess your property
Our Boiler Installation Process
Free home survey
We visit your Gillingham home to assess the current system, check the gas supply, measure up for the new boiler, and discuss your hot water and heating needs.
Detailed quotation
We provide a clear, written quote covering the boiler, installation, any additional work (pipework modifications, system flush, controls upgrade), and the warranty details.
Installation day
A straightforward combi boiler swap is typically completed in a single day (4 to 6 hours). More complex installations, such as moving the boiler to a different room or converting from a conventional to a combi system, take 1 to 2 days.
Commissioning and registration
We commission the boiler to the manufacturer's exact specifications, test every radiator, check all gas and water connections, and register your warranty. You receive all paperwork before we leave.
Ongoing support
We are available for any questions after the installation and offer annual servicing plans to maintain your warranty and keep your boiler running efficiently.
Boiler Installation for Gillingham Properties
1930s semis (Napier area, Woodlands Road, Canterbury Street). These three-bedroom homes are among the most common in Gillingham. They typically suit a 28 to 32kW combi boiler, such as the Worcester Bosch Greenstar 4000 or Vaillant ecoTEC plus 832. If the property has a single bathroom, a combi is ideal. If you have added a second bathroom in a loft conversion, a system boiler with an unvented cylinder may deliver better hot water performance.
Post-war terraces (Twydall, ME8)
These more compact homes usually work well with a smaller combi boiler in the 24 to 28kW range. Space can be tight, so we often recommend wall-mounted models that fit neatly in a kitchen cupboard.
1960s estate housing (Woodlands, Parkwood). These properties may still have original conventional boilers with a hot water cylinder and cold water tank. Converting to a modern combi or system boiler frees up cupboard and loft space. We remove the old cylinder and tank as part of the installation.
Modern developments (Hempstead area, new-build estates)
Newer homes typically have a combi boiler as standard. Replacements are straightforward, and we can usually complete the swap in half a day. We match the output of the original boiler and ensure the controls are up to date.
Pricing guidance
A combi boiler installation in Gillingham typically costs between 1,800 and 3,200. System boiler installations, including a new hot water cylinder, range from 2,500 to 4,500. We offer interest-free finance options to help spread the cost.

More About Boiler Installation in Gillingham
The housing stock reflects this spread: you will find rows of 1930s bay-fronted semis around the Napier area, compact post-war terraces in Twydall, 1960s council-built housing near Woodlands, and modern family homes in the developments around Hempstead. When it comes to replacing a boiler, this variety means there is no standard recommendation. The right boiler for a three-bedroom 1930s semi in Gillingham is not the same as the right boiler for a modern four-bedroom detached house near Hempstead Valley.
