”Thames Boilers have just carried out a boiler replacement for me. They quoted promptly with a competitive rate and carried out the work neatly, thoroughly and efficiently to a high standard of workmanship. Engineer George Lane was courteous, explained in advance what he was doing and when he would do it, cleared everything away and left things in a tidy state. I have no hesitation in recommending Thames Boilers.”

Sydenham's Most Popular Boilers

Vaillant

Vaillant are one of the best known boiler brands in the UK. Vaillant are considered one of the best boiler manufacturer’s on the market, winning Which? Best Buy awards on a regular basis.

Worcester Bosch

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

Viessmann

Viessmann are the best boiler brand you’ve never heard of. We’re big fans of Viessmann at Thames Boilers because their build quality is as good as (if not better) than Vaillant and Worcester Bosch, but their prices are a little lower. This makes them great value – and Which? agree, giving Viessmann several Best Buy awards in recent years.

Baxi

Baxi Boilers are another great British boiler brand, started in the industrial revolution by Richard Baxendale, an iron founder, who started the Baxendale Company in 1866, based in Preston in Lancashire. These days, Baxi also make boilers under the Main and Potterton brands. We usually recommend Baxi boilers as the least disruptive replacement to some heat-only boilers – and their Main boiler brand for people who want to keep costs down.

Common Questions From Our Sydenham Customers

What Kind of Central Heating Boiler Do I Need?

As a rule, if you have one bathroom and also excellent pressure at your kitchen tap or outside tap, a combination boiler is generally the very best choice.
If you have got more than one bathroom, a conventional, also called a “heat only” boiler (and even a system boiler) with a hot water tank would be the best choice for you.

Will Boilers Be Made Illegal In 2025?

No. For existing residences, if you need to change your boiler from 2035 onwards, you will not be able to replace it with another gas boiler. Going by current government plans, you would need to get a Hydrogen boiler or a heat pump. However, if your gas boiler is working in 2035, you will not need to do anything till it needs to be changed, such as if it’s broken down and irreparable.

How Much Does A New Central Heating Boiler Cost?

It can vary extremely depending upon what you require.
Yet as a rough guide, to take your old boiler out and put a brand-new one in the exact same place varies from roughly ₤1800 to ₤3000.
And strip out an old sort of system with a hot water storage tank {and} put in a combi boiler costs between roughly ₤3000 to ₤5000.
If you require various other work carried out at the same time, such as a power flush, a new gas pipe, or new radiators, this will certainly contribute to the estimated price.

Should I Buy A Combi Boiler?

If you have only got 1 bathroom and also excellent water mains pressure, yes.
If you have got more than 1 bathroom or inadequate water mains pressure, then no{, you should look at a conventional boiler or a system boiler}.

Can I Control My Central Heating Boiler From My Smart Phone?

6 Benefits You Get With A New Boiler

1. Slash Your Gas Bill

Did you know that buying a new boiler can save you up to £570 a year on your gas bill? (based on replacing a G rated boiler with no controls with a new A rated boiler with a controls upgrade)

2. Stop Paying For Boiler Breakdowns

Older boilers usually fail more often than modern boilers – and when they do, the problem is usually more expensive.

3. More powerful showers and faster filling baths

When we think about boilers and central heating, most of us think about radiators. But did you know your central heating influences how good (or bad) your hot water is? An added benefit of upgrading your central heating is piping hot powerful showers and hot baths that fill in minutes.

4. Stop running out of hot water

Have you ever looked forward to a nice bath or shower and realised you’ve ran out of hot water? With an upgraded heating system, you’ll never run out of hot water again. When a system is properly designed and set up, you’ll always have lovely hot water for whatever you want, whenever you need it.

5. Free up extra space in your home

Have you ever needed extra space in your home? One of the hidden benefits of getting a new boiler is that it can add extra space for you. With flexible siting options, your new boiler can be safely installed almost anyhere in your home. Plus, if you get a combi boiler, you can remove your hot water cylinder in the airing cupboard and your water tanks in the loft. This instantly creates new space where your tanks and cylinder used to be, which is great for storage.

6. Never worry about turning the heating on or off again.

Your boiler control takes care of itself all year round, so you won’t feel chilly and need to turn the heating on manually. Furthermore, you’ll never use more gas than you need to stay warm and cosy. That’s because modern heating controls use basic artificial intelligence and inside and outside sensors to keep your home at a comfortable temperature all year round. Clocks changed? That’s not a problem, your controls will automatically change the time. Want to change the temperature or programs? It’s simple – if you can use a smartphone or Netflix, you’ll find these controls very straight forward.
