”George replaced our old heating system with a combi boiler. Excellent service throughout, very neat and tidy and we’re very happy with the result! Much quieter boiler and hot water pressure is way better! Would highly recommend and will definitely use again”

”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.”

What Boilers Do We Recommend To Customers In West Kingsdown?

Vaillant Boiler

Vaillant Boilers

Vaillant are one of the best known boiler brands in the UK. Vaillant are a German firm, with their headquarters in Remscheid since 1874.

Worcester Bosch Boilers

Worcester Bosch are probably the best known boiler brand in the UK. Like Vaillant and Viessmann, Worcester Bosch have won several Which? Best Buy awards.

Viessmann Boilers

Viessmann is the best 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, however their prices are a little lower. This makes Viessmann fantastic value – and Which? agrees, giving Viessmann several ”Best Buy” awards in recent years.

Baxi Boilers

Baxi Boilers are another well established British boiler manufacturer, whose roots go back to Richard Baxendale, an iron founder, who started the Baxendale Company in 1866, based in Preston in Lancashire. These days, Baxi also makes boilers under the Main and Potterton brands. We recommend Baxi boilers as the least disruptive replacement for some conventional boilers – and their Main boiler brand for people who want to keep costs down.

Common Questions From Our West Kingsdown Customers​

Generally, if you have one bathroom and excellent water pressure at your kitchen tap or outdoors tap, a combination boiler is typically the very best choice.
If you have got more than one bathroom, a conventional, also called a “heat only” boiler (or perhaps a system boiler) with a hot water cylinder would be the most effective choice for you.

No. For existing residences, if you need to change your central heating boiler from 2035 onwards, you will not be allowed to put in another gas boiler. Going by current government plans, you would need to install a Hydrogen boiler or a heat pump. Nevertheless, if your gas boiler is operating in 2035, you will not need to do anything till it needs to be replaced, such as if it’s broken down and irreparable.

It can vary hugely depending on what you require.
But as a rough guide, to take your old boiler out and put a new one in the same place ranges from roughly ₤1800 to ₤3000.
And remove an old type of gas boiler with a hot water tank {and} install 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 pipeline, or new radiators, this will add to the estimated costs.

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

Yes. There are numerous sorts of smart thermostats that can connect to the net so you can regulate your boiler from your phone. Some brand names people go for are Nest, Honeywell, Tado, and Hive.

Why Should You Get A New Gas Boiler? Here Are 6 Great Reasons

1. Reduce Your Gas Bills

Did you know that old fashioned G-rated boilers waste 45pence of every £1 you spend on gas? That’s a huge waste of gas and money. But if you get a new A-rated boiler, only 8-9pence in every pound is wasted. That’s a huge saving that can add up to up to £570 a year.

2. Save Money On Boiler Breakdowns

Boiler engineering in the last 20 years has greatly improved. High quality new boilers don’t go wrong as often as old boilers because modern boilers contain minimal moving parts and are subject to stringent quality control.

3. Really powerful showers and faster filling baths

Did you know a new boiler can give you a really powerful shower? Fitting a new combi boiler or unvented hot water cylinder gives the “power shower” experience without the expensive and noisey pump. If you would like to know if your home is suitable for these types of boilers, please get in touch on 0808 196 4649.

4. Stop 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 getting ready. 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 long (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 cylinder, it’ll seem like your hot water lasts forever.

5. Create more space in your home

Extra storage space seems to be the thing that everybody wants these days. And a new boiler can help you get it. Modern boilers can be installed safely in places old boilers couldn’t, like the loft, basement, or garage, so you can get the boiler out of sight. And if your home would suit a combination boiler, you can take out your hot water cylinder and water tanks in the loft, because a combi boiler doesn’t need these things. This means you can use your whole airing cupboard for storage – or in some homes – you can take it out completely and install a small shower room. So while you’re replacing your boiler, why not do some clever space saving in yout home at the same time? If you’d like some ideas for inspiration, please get in touch.

6. Never worry about switching the boiler on again.

The great thing about modern boiler timers and thermostats is that you hardly need to adjust them. They automatically adjust when the clocks change, and when they’re set up, you’ll always feel comfortable and warm. Not too hot and not too cold. And because these advanced boiler controls also know how hot or cold it is outside, they can back off the power to the boiler on warm days, saving you money on your gas bills.
