Boiler Installation in Lordswood

Why Choose Advance Medway for Boiler Installation in Lordswood

We are a Medway-based heating company, and Lordswood falls squarely within our regular service area. Our engineers work in ME5 properties every week and know the housing here well. That familiarity is practical, not just a talking point. It means we can often anticipate the pipework layout, boiler position, and system type before we walk through the door, which allows us to conduct efficient surveys and provide accurate quotes.

Every boiler we install is fitted by Gas Safe registered engineers working to the manufacturer's specification. This is not a technicality. Manufacturer installation guidelines exist for a reason, and deviating from them can compromise both safety and warranty coverage. We follow them precisely.

Our pricing is transparent. After surveying your property, we provide a written, fixed-price quote that covers everything. The boiler, all materials, labour, removal and disposal of the old unit, commissioning, and all post-installation documentation. If the price on the quote is £2,400, that is what you pay. Not £2,400 plus VAT, not £2,400 plus extras that emerged during the work.

We also take care of the administration that some installers neglect: registering the warranty with the manufacturer, notifying Building Control, and issuing the Benchmark certificate. These documents matter if you ever need a warranty claim or when you come to sell your home.

Boiler Installation for Lordswood Properties

Lordswood's housing is remarkably consistent in age, but differences in size, layout, and modifications over the years mean each home still requires individual assessment.

Three-bedroom semi-detached houses (North Dane Way, Sultan Road area): These are the backbone of Lordswood's housing stock. Most have one family bathroom and were originally fitted with conventional boiler systems including a hot water cylinder and cold water tank. For the majority of these properties, upgrading to a modern combi boiler is the most practical and cost-effective option. A 30kW unit provides ample heating and instant hot water for a typical family, and eliminating the old cylinder and header tank reclaims useful storage space. The efficiency improvement alone, from around 70% to over 92%, typically saves £200-£300 per year.

Four-bedroom detached houses (Lordswood Lane, Princes Avenue): Larger detached properties with two bathrooms need a different approach. A combi boiler can struggle to maintain adequate hot water flow when two showers are running simultaneously. In these homes, a system boiler paired with an unvented hot water cylinder provides mains-pressure hot water to every outlet, regardless of how many are in use. The cylinder occupies roughly the same space as the old airing cupboard setup, so there is no net loss of space.

Properties with conservatories and extensions: Lordswood homes have been heavily modified over the decades, with many gaining rear extensions, loft conversions, and conservatories. Each addition increases the heating demand. We measure the entire property as it currently stands, including all additions, to ensure the new boiler is powerful enough to heat every room effectively.
