Boiler Installation in Strood

Why Choose Advance Medway for Boiler Installation in Strood

Strood homeowners benefit from working with a company that knows the area. We are Medway-based, so our engineers travel to Strood regularly and understand the housing stock across the ME2 postcode. That local knowledge translates into better recommendations, because we have fitted boilers in hundreds of properties similar to yours.

We hold Gas Safe registration, which is required by law for anyone installing gas boilers. Beyond that legal baseline, we follow each manufacturer's specific installation procedures, which protects your warranty and ensures the boiler performs as designed for its full expected lifespan. This matters more than many people realise. Boiler warranties can be invalidated by incorrect installation, leaving you unprotected if a fault develops.

Our approach is consultative rather than sales-driven. We assess your home, calculate your heating and hot water requirements, and recommend the most suitable boiler for your circumstances. We explain the trade-offs between different options so you can make an informed choice. If a straightforward combi boiler is the right answer, that is what we recommend, even when a more expensive system boiler would give us a bigger margin.

We are transparent about pricing. You receive a written, fixed-price quote before any work begins, and the price you are quoted is the price you pay.

Boiler Installation for Strood Properties

The housing across Strood and the wider ME2 area spans more than a century, and each property type has distinct heating requirements.

Victorian and Edwardian terraces (Strood centre, Gun Lane area): These homes are typically two or three bedrooms arranged over two floors, with relatively compact footprints. Many were originally fitted with back boilers or old floor-standing boilers that have been replaced at least once since. A wall-mounted combi boiler is the natural choice for these properties, delivering heating and hot water without needing a separate cylinder or tank. The space saved by removing an old cylinder is especially valuable in homes where every room is small.

Inter-war and 1950s semis (Frindsbury, Strood Hill): Semi-detached houses in these areas tend to have three bedrooms and a single bathroom. They often have conventional boiler setups with a hot water cylinder and header tank in the loft. For households of two to four people with one bathroom, converting to a combi boiler provides a simpler, more efficient system. For homes that have had a loft conversion or second bathroom added, a system boiler with an unvented cylinder may be a better fit, delivering mains-pressure hot water to both bathrooms simultaneously.

Newer builds and developments (Temple Marsh, Canal Road): More recent housing around the regeneration areas near the waterfront typically has existing combi boilers that need replacing at end of life. These are usually the quickest installations, often completed in four to six hours.
