Combi Boiler FAQs
How much does a combi boiler cost to install in London?
£1,800–£3,500 all-in depending on brand. Entry-level (Ideal, Baxi): £1,800–£2,200. Mid-range (Worcester Bosch, Vaillant): £2,200–£2,800. Premium (Viessmann): £2,800–£3,500+. Additional London costs: 15mm→22mm mains upgrade £400–£1,200, back boiler removal £400–£600.
Is a combi boiler right for a London flat or house?
Ideal for 1–3 bed, 1 bathroom London properties — saves loft tank and cylinder space. Not ideal for 4+ bed, 2+ bathroom homes where simultaneous demand exceeds typical combi flow rate (10–16 l/min). For larger London homes, consider an unvented cylinder system.
Why does my combi boiler keep losing pressure in London?
Most likely: a small system leak, weeping PRV, or failed expansion vessel. London's hard water (280–320 mg/l) accelerates PRV and expansion vessel failure. Expansion vessel replacement: £150–£300. We diagnose the root cause — never just repressurise without finding the cause.
What combi boiler brands do you install in London?
All major brands. Our top recommendation: Worcester Bosch Greenstar 4000/8000 — 10-year warranty, best parts availability in the UK. Always fit a scale reducer in London's hard water zone to protect the plate heat exchanger.
How often should I service my combi boiler in London?
Annually — required for warranty validity. In London's hard water area, annual servicing is more critical than soft-water regions because limescale accumulates on burner components and the heat exchanger faster. Service cost: £95–£140. Unserviced combis in hard water areas last 8–10 years vs. 15 years serviced.
Why is my combi boiler not producing hot water in London?
Most likely a stuck diverter valve (replacement £200–£350) or a limescale-blocked plate heat exchanger (descale £120–£200). Error codes on the display help pinpoint the fault — call us with your boiler make and error code for a same-day assessment.
