Boiler Installation Upgrade for 3-Bed Terrace
We upgraded an aging boiler system in a three-bedroom terraced home. Our work included removing the old boiler, replacing radiators, performing a full system flush, and installing a new high-efficiency boiler with smart controls.
Step 1 — Survey & Design
We began with a heat-loss calculation based on the number of radiators and the household’s hot-water needs to ensure correct boiler sizing.
Step 2 — Quotation & Scheduling
We provided a detailed, fixed-price quote and agreed on an installation date that suited both parties.
Step 3 — Material Sourcing
All plumbing materials were sourced from Express Plumbing Supplies, and our team arrived fully equipped with tools to avoid delays.
The Work
First, we protected all floors, carpets, and driveways with dust sheets and boards—maintaining spotless housekeeping throughout. We then flushed the existing system with the old boiler in place to remove sludge and debris.
Next, the old boiler was safely decommissioned: gas-safety checks, disconnection, and removal. We modified the pipework layout to fit the new boiler’s footprint, then installed the unit along with upgraded radiators and any necessary pipe alterations.
Preparation
We cordoned off the working area, covered furniture and floors, and set up waste-disposal bins. Regular clean-ups ensured the site remained safe and tidy—minimising impact on the homeowner’s daily life.
We double-checked all materials and tools before starting major works, ensuring no delays once the boiler was offline.
Installation
- System Flush & Boiler Fit: Conducted a second flush post-removal, then mounted and connected the new high-efficiency boiler (gas, water, flue).
- Radiators & Pipework: Installed correctly sized radiators, rerouted flow/return pipework for optimal performance, and balanced each radiator for even heat distribution.
- Smart Controls: Integrated and calibrated the wireless thermostat for remote scheduling and energy monitoring.
Finishing Touches
Performed final leak and pressure checks, made any minor plaster repairs around new pipe runs, and removed all protective coverings.
The Results
The homeowner now enjoys a brand-new condensing boiler with a 4-year parts & labour warranty, improved water flow, and fully remote heating control via their smart thermostat.
The entire system was tested and commissioned to British Standards (including benchmark testing).
