Boiler Installation in Rochester

Why Choose Advance Medway for Boiler Installation in Rochester

Rochester homeowners face a particular set of considerations when replacing a boiler. Period properties in the conservation area may have restrictions on where flues can be positioned, and the internal layout of older buildings often means standard installation approaches need adapting. Our engineers have extensive experience working in Rochester's older housing stock and understand the practical realities of fitting modern heating systems into buildings that were never designed for them.

We are a Medway-based company, so reaching properties across the ME1 postcode is straightforward and cost-effective. There are no travel surcharges, no vague arrival windows. When we book an installation in Rochester, we turn up on time and complete the work to schedule.

Every boiler we install is registered with the manufacturer on the day of completion. We handle the Building Regulations notification and issue your Benchmark certificate, which is the document that validates your warranty. Some installers skip this step. We never do, because without it, your warranty may not be honoured if you ever need to make a claim.

Our recommendations are based on what suits your home. Rochester has everything from compact one-bedroom flats near the Esplanade to large detached houses on Rochester Hill, and the right boiler for each is very different.

Boiler Installation for Rochester Properties

Rochester's diverse housing stock means there is no single boiler solution that fits every home. Here is how we approach the most common property types in the area.

Georgian and Victorian properties near the High Street and Cathedral: These homes often have thick walls, high ceilings, and limited space for modern heating equipment. Many still have conventional boilers with separate hot water cylinders. In most cases, a combi boiler replacement works well, freeing up the cupboard space previously occupied by the cylinder. However, flue positioning needs careful thought in conservation areas, and we always check local planning requirements before proceeding.

Edwardian and inter-war semis along City Way and Delce: These three-bedroom properties are well suited to a modern combi boiler in the 30-35kW range. Many have had partial heating upgrades over the years, leaving them with a mix of old and new pipework. During installation, we assess whether the existing pipework is adequate or whether sections need replacing to ensure the new boiler performs at its best.

Modern developments around Rochester Riverside and Knight Road: Newer properties typically have existing combi boilers that simply need replacing at end of life. These are usually the most straightforward installations, often completed in under six hours.
