5/5

“George from Thames Boilers came to install a brand new boiler in my property. Our previous boiler was 21 years old and beyond repair. George went through all the different options available to us, understood our needs and we settled on our new boiler. During installation he explained in detail what he was doing and what he’d be doing next. He was exceptionally clean and tidy throughout the entire installation. He was professional, friendly, courteous, reliable, trustworthy and efficient. I would wholeheartedly recommend Thames Boilers to everyone.”

Gravesend's Most Popular Boilers

Vaillant Boiler

Vaillant

Vaillant are one of the most popular boiler manufacturers in the UK. They’re a German company, based in Remscheid since 1874.

Worcester Bosch

Worcester Bosch are probably the best known boiler brand in the country. Although they’re now owned by the massive European brand, Bosch, Worcester is still very much a British company. Its boilers are still made in Warndon in Worcester, in the United Kingdom.

Viessmann

Viessmann are the greatest boiler manufacturer you’ve never heard of. We’re big fans of Viessmann here at Thames Boilers because they’re as well built as (if not better) than Vaillant and Worcester Bosch, but their prices are a little lower. This makes Viessmann fantastic value – and Which? magazine agrees, giving Viessmann several ”Best Buy” awards in recent years.

Baxi

Baxi is another well established British boiler manufacturer, whose roots go back to Richard Baxendale, an iron founder, who began the Baxendale Company in 1866, based in Preston in Lancashire. These days, Baxi also makes well known Main and Potterton boiler brands, as part of the Baxi group. We recommend Baxi boilers as the least disruptive replacement to some conventional boilers – and their Main brand for people who are on a budget.

Frequently Asked Questions​

Generally, if you‘ve got one bathroom as well as good pressure at your kitchen tap or outdoors tap, a combi boiler is generally the best option.
If you‘ve got more than one bathroom in your home, then a conventional, also called a “heat only” boiler (and even a system boiler) with a hot water tank could be the most effective option for you.

No. For existing homes, if you have to replace your boiler from 2035 onwards, you will not be allowed to replace it with another gas boiler. According to current government plans, you would have to fit a Hydrogen boiler or a heat pump. However, if your gas boiler is operating in 2035, you will not need to do anything until it needs to be changed, such as if it’s broken down & beyond repair.

It can vary extremely depending on what you require.
But as a rough guide, to take your old boiler out & put a brand-new one in the exact same location varies from about ₤1800 to ₤3000.
And take out an old kind of boiler with a hot water storage tank {and} install a combi boiler costs between about ₤3000 and ₤5000.
If you require other jobs carried out at the same time, such as a power flush, a new gas pipe, or brand-new radiators, this will contribute to the estimated costs.

If you‘ve only got 1 bathroom as well as good water pressure, then yes.
If you‘ve got more than 1 bathroom or inadequate water pressure, then no{, you should look at a conventional boiler or a system boiler}.

Time To Install A New Boiler? Here Are 6 Things You'll Love About It

1. Cut Your Gas Bills

If you’ve got a old G-rated boiler and you replace it with a new condensing boiler and controls, you can save up to £570 a year on your gas bills. That’s upto an extra £47.50 a month in your pocket, not your gas company’s.

2. Save Money On Boiler Breakdowns

Some people mistakenly think that new boilers go wrong more often than older boilers. That’s because modern boilers can be more complex than their predecessors. For cheap, low quality boilers, this may be true; cheap boilers are not very reliable. However, high quality modern boilers are very robust and breakdowns are rare. Plus, new boilers come with manufactuer’s guarantees of up to 12 years, which include all parts and labour.

3. More powerful showers and fast filling baths

Does your shower dribble? Does the water run so slowly it takes ages to get all the shampoo out of your hair? A new boiler could fix that. Combi boilers and unvented hot water cylinders can give you brilliant pressure at all your taps and showers. This is because the water comes straight from high pressure mains water and not a tank in your loft. So not only do you get a boiler that saves you money and keeps you warm – you also get a powerful shower as an added bonus!

4. No more running out of hot water

Do you find you keep running out of hot water? It can be a pain, especially in the mornings when everyone is using the bathroom. With a modern boiler this is a thing of the past. If you get a combi boiler, you could run the hot water all day (no that you’d want to) and it wouldn’t go cold. This is because combi boilers heat hot water on demand. Even with a conventional system, if you get a propely designed hot water tank, it’ll seem like your hot water lasts forever.

5. Free up extra space

It doesn’t matter whether you live in a one bedroom flat or a 6 bedroom house, we all need extra space. And when you upgrade your central heating system, there are lots of opportunities to create extra space in your home. New boilers can be fitted out of the way in areas like lofts, airing cupboards or garages. Some boilers, like combi boilers, don’t need tanks or cylinders either, which instantly creates space in your airing cupboard and loft.

6. Never worry about switching the boiler on again.

Did you know the very latest boiler controls are as easy to use as a tablet? Gone are the days of squinting at the miniscule display on the heating timer and reading the manual just to change the heating times. These days, you can program your heating either through the simple (and free) apps that come with your new controls, or flick through the big colour screen to change your settings with ease. And the best part is, once you’ve set everything up, your new boiler and heating controls will keep your home at a perfect temperature without using any more energy than absolutely necessary.
