What Do Our Customers Say?
”Polite, professional and very efficient! Would recommend our installer George.”
-Linda Mulley
”George replaced our boiler recently. He was really friendly, reliable and fair with pricing. Would definitely recommend and will be booking in for annual boiler services without a doubt.”
-Emma T
“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.”
-David Herrington
What Boilers Do We Recommend To Customers In Otford?
Vaillant
Vaillant are one of the best known boiler manufacturers in the UK. Vaillant are thought to be one of the best boiler brands on the market, winning Which? Best Buy awards on a regular basis.
Worcester Bosch
Worcester Bosch are one of the best known boiler manufacturers in the country. Although they’re now owned by the big German brand, Bosch, Worcester is still very much a British company. Their boilers are still made in Warndon in Worcester, in the United Kingdom.
Viessmann
Viessmann is the best boiler make you’ve never heard of. We’re big fans of Viessmann at Thames Boilers because they’re as well built as (if not better) than Vaillant or Worcester Bosch, but their prices are a little lower. This makes Viessmann great value – and Which? magazine agree, giving Viessmann several Best Buy awards in recent years.
Baxi
Baxi Boilers are another well established British boiler make, started in the industrial revolution by Richard Baxendale, an iron founder, who started the Baxendale Company (now Baxi) in 1866, based in Preston in Lancashire. These days, Baxi also make boilers under the Main and Potterton brands. We recommend Baxi boilers as the least disruptive replacement for some conventional boilers – and their Main brand for people who want to keep costs down.
FAQ​
Generally, if you‘ve got one bathroom and also great pressure at your kitchen tap or outdoors tap, a combination central heating boiler is generally the best option.
If you‘ve got more than one bathroom in your home, a conventional, also called a “heat only” central heating boiler (or even a system central heating boiler) with a hot water cylinder could be the best option.
No. For existing houses, if you need to replace your central heating boiler from 2035 onwards, you will not be allowed to replace it with another gas central heating boiler. According to current government plans, you would need to install a Hydrogen boiler or a heat pump. Nevertheless, if your gas central heating 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 differ widely depending on what you need.
But as a rough estimate, to take your old central heating boiler out & put a new one in the exact same place varies from about ₤1800 to ₤3000.
And to remove an old kind of gas boiler with a hot water tank {and} fit a combi central heating boiler costs between about ₤3000 to ₤5000.
If you need various other work carried out at the same time, such as a power flush, a new gas pipe, or brand-new radiators, this will add to the estimated costs.
If you‘ve got one bathroom and also great water mains pressure, yes.
If you‘ve got more than one bathroom or poor water mains pressure, then no{, you should look at a conventional boiler or a system boiler}.
Yes. There are a number of types of smart thermostats that can link to the internet so you can manage your central heating boiler from your phone. Some brands customers choose are Nest, Honeywell, Tado, and also Hive.

6 Benefits You Get With A New Gas Boiler
1. Reduce Your Heating Bill
If you’ve got a very old boiler with a pilot light, old radiators, timer and thermostat, 45pence of every £1 you spend on gas is completely wasted. Whichever way you look at it, that’s a terrible waste.
If you replaced your boiler, controls – and perhaps even your radiators – at least 92pence in every £1 you spend will be put to good use. Only 8pence or less would be wasted. That’s quite a saving – and if you add it up over a year, you could save over £250. On average, that’s an extra £25 per month in your pocket to spend on the nicer things in life, not gas.
2. Stop Paying For Boiler Breakdowns
3. More powerful showers and faster filling baths
4. No more running out of hot water
5. Create space in your home
6. Don’t worry about switching the heating on again.
