Boiler installation in Croydon
- Semis from the interwar years whose system layout has never changed
- Kitchen-cupboard boilers where moving them would help with noise and access
- Long pipework where circulation counts for as much as the boiler’s output
A lot of Croydon’s interwar semis still have a conventional boiler fed by loft tanks, with its cylinder in the airing cupboard. Changing to a combi frees the airing cupboard and the loft, but it also removes stored hot water, so it suits a smaller household better than a big one. On a semi outside a conservation area, the flue can usually go on the side or rear wall without planning questions, though the terminal still has to sit far enough from the boundary and from the windows next door. Driveways are common, which makes delivery simple. Nearer the town centre it is mostly flats above shops, where the gas meter may be in the shop or a rear lobby and access is often through a yard at the back. If you go combi, the old loft tanks should be drained and taken out rather than left sitting full above the ceiling.

Questions we often get
Do you work in Croydon?
We do. Croydon falls within Croydon, covering the CR0, CR2, SE25, SW16 postcodes, and our engineers are out across Greater London from our Fulham office every day.
Does the new boiler have to go in the same place as the old one?
No. A like-for-like swap is the quickest and cheapest route and is often correct. But if the current spot is noisy, hard to service, or was chosen for a kitchen fitter’s convenience twenty years back, replacement is the time to think again.
Do we have to tell the council about a new boiler?
Not yourself. A boiler installation is notifiable under the Building Regulations, and the Gas Safe engineer who fits it notifies building control through the Gas Safe scheme. A compliance certificate is then posted to you. Planning permission is a separate question, and for a semi outside a conservation area it rarely arises. In a leasehold flat, check the lease for the freeholder’s consent before any change to the outside wall.
How much will it cost?
Before an engineer starts, you are given a price for the job. Should something hidden in a wall change what is needed, we stop and discuss it with you first, instead of pressing on and sending the bill later.
