Boiler Installation in Cuxton

Why Choose Advance Medway for Boiler Installation in Cuxton

Cuxton's village setting can sometimes mean longer wait times for tradespeople based in central Medway or further afield. We are Medway-based and include Cuxton within our standard service area. There are no additional charges for reaching the village, and we are familiar with the types of properties found here.

Our Gas Safe registered engineers have worked in Cuxton's older cottages and its newer developments alike. They understand the particular considerations that apply to period properties with solid walls and non-standard layouts, as well as the straightforward requirements of more modern housing. This experience means fewer surprises during installation and more accurate quoting.

We always start with a home survey. Cuxton's housing is too varied to quote over the phone with any accuracy. Some properties have modern gas supplies and straightforward flue routes; others have thicker walls, smaller rooms, and gas meter positions that require creative solutions. The survey allows us to assess everything and provide a quote that reflects the actual work involved.

Every installation includes complete documentation, including your Benchmark certificate, Building Regulations notification, and manufacturer warranty registration. We complete these before we leave the job, not as an afterthought days or weeks later.

Boiler Installation for Cuxton Properties

Cuxton's housing spans several centuries, and each era presents its own considerations for boiler installation.

Period cottages and older village houses (Bush Road, Church Hill area): These properties are the architectural heart of Cuxton but can be the most challenging to work with from a heating perspective. Thick stone or brick walls make external flue runs straightforward but internal pipework routing requires care. Room sizes tend to be smaller than modern standards, so a compact combi boiler in the 24-28kW range is often sufficient. Some cottages have been extended over the years, adding kitchens or conservatories that increase the overall heating load. We assess the entire property, including any extensions, to ensure correct boiler sizing.

1960s-1980s detached houses and bungalows (Sundridge Hill, Rochester Road area): These properties form the bulk of Cuxton's residential housing. Three-bedroom detached houses and bungalows from this era typically have conventional heating systems with hot water cylinders. Upgrading to a modern combi boiler is the most common installation we carry out in these homes. It simplifies the system, improves efficiency, and provides instant hot water. Bungalows in particular benefit from the shorter pipe runs involved in single-storey installations.

Newer developments (along the village edges): More recent housing typically has existing combi boilers that need straightforward end-of-life replacement. These installations are quick and minimally disruptive, usually completed within five to six hours.
